For Friday, October 17th the Paint the Paper pink campaign features two pink shirt pictures. One is staff at Lincoln Memorial Hospital and the other the team at Broadway Graham.

The LMH crew is holding a variety of signs that say things like “nobody fights alone,” “Brave, Bold, Beautiful,” “mammograms save lives,” and “early detection saves lives.” If you look carefully, there are also two signs in the group that have one simple word “survivor.”

We want to send out a special salute to those two who are holding the signs! We applaud you for your courage to fight the good fight and win, and we wish you years of continued good health.

This is a good time to remind everyone that one out of every eight women in the United States will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year. There are varying degrees or ‘states” of this disease and early detection has proven to play a key role in survivorship, so as the other sign says “early detection saves lives.”

LMH is offering free Mammogram Mondays in October for women who are uninsured or underinsured. If you fit that description, give them a call. Appointments are required so don’t delay; there are only two Mondays left in October.
