Pamper Me Pink:
A Breast Health Awareness Celebration Nearly 200 ladies were pampered and educated at Houston Methodist Breast Care Center at The Woodlands’ Pamper Me Pink event on Oct. 5. The event put a spotlight on breast health awareness and provided guests an opportunity to tour the breast care center and schedule their mammogram. The program had a talk show format hosted by Debbie Sukin, chief executive officer of Houston Methodist The Woodlands Hospital, and regional senior vice president of Houston Methodist, which included Q&A with doctors and breast cancer survivors. Following the
presentation, the ladies enjoyed complimentary massages and mini makeovers from Nordstrom – The Woodlands. The event concluded with 28 women scheduling a mammogram.
