December 9, 2009 § 1 Comment
This You Tube video was presented by employees at the Providence St. Vincent Medical Center in Portland, Oregon, for breast cancer awareness.
Worth seeing!

The daughter-in-law of Caryl Hancock, who is a quilt artist friend, Emily MacInnes Somers, created, directed and choreographed this last week for her Medline glove division as a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness.
Medline wanted to promote their new pink gloves; the idea came about, and many employees wanted to participate including doctors and patients, all having fun doing it.
When the video got to one million hits, Medline was to make a huge contribution to the hospital, as well as offering free mammograms for the community. When I checked the You Tube video today, they have more than four million hits already!

I have seen this video a number of times now and it’s great! Heightened awareness of breast cancer risk in the past decades has led to an increase in the number of women undergoing mammography for screening, leading to detection of cancers in earlier stages and a resultant improvement in survival rates. Knowledge is power and together we can make a difference! Happy Holidays!
