Rutherford Hospital cancer resource center Women’s health & Chocolate Event

November 11, 2010

As a wrap-up to Breast Cancer Awareness month, the Rutherford Hospital Cancer Resource Center held a Women’s Health & Chocolate event on October 28th to encourage women in the community to participate in life-saving screenings, and to be pampered a little in the process. Despite torrential rains and near hurricane force winds, more than 50 women attended and took part in 33 Skin Cancer, 7 Cholesterol, 17 Bone Density, 13 Glucose, 40 Blood Pressures, 28 Hearing and 25 Spine screenings. (We promised not to divulge how many pieces of chocolate were consumed). In addition, Tips to Toes raised $120 for the Rutherford Hospital Foundation’s Mammogram Program, which provides free mammograms for uninsured women over 40 in Rutherford County. To find out more about resources that are available, or to learn how to contribute to this worthwhile cause, contact Jamie Ingraham at the Cancer Resource Center: (828) 245-4596 or jingraham@rutherfordhosp.org; or Jill Miracle, Director of the Rutherford Hospital Foundation: 828-286-5070 or jmiracle@rutherfordhosp.org.
