North Canyon Celebrates "Pink Out Day"
Last Wednesday was "Pink Out Day" at North Canyon Medical Center. Staff of North Canyon created a sea of pink by wearing pink shirts in support of those affected by Breast Cancer. This event raises funds for the hospital's Breast Cancer program which provides free mammograms for women who might not otherwise be able to afford this life-saving service.
Other community organizations joined this annual celebration with their own fundraising. Pioneer Federal Credit Union set up a coffee shop in the morning hours and donated the proceeds to the Breast Cancer program. Western Waste Service brought in one of their iconic Pink Garbage Cans which are available to area customers to help raise funds for the program. Western Waste also presented a $1075 check to the program. Whitney Johnson, the coordinator for the Gooding Pro Rodeo Tough Enough to Wear Pink, presented the donation raised from the Lunch & Auction held during the rodeo in August. This year's check was for $30,000. "I am still in complete awe over the success we had in 2022" said Mrs. Johnson. "We can’t thank every single person that supported us. $30,000 is a tremendous amount and shattered all expectations." North Canyon has wasted no time in putting these funds to good use. They have purchased an ultrasound specifically to be used in the Mammography Department. Rather than making a second appointment for those patients needing further evaluation, they will now be able to do it immediately. This will drastically reducing the stress of waiting and worrying for these patients and their families.
