WE CAN DO IT! Join Us in the Fight Against Breast Cancer by Joining the Pink Army today. Pink Army is not about military recruitment nor is it a club with an affinity toward the color pink – it’s about saving lives from breast cancer.

The Florida Hospital Pink Army is a community initiative created to increase awareness about early detection and prevention. Join us to learn more about Pink Army and how you can participate!

Over 10,000 men, women, children and their pets donned their pick colored outfits to raise funds to help the American Cancer Society through the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. The walk started at the Shops at Wiregrass with a everyone getting loose and stretching and inspirational words by Reverend Joe Jackson who spoke of losing his mother to breast cancer 20 years ago and former Chair Paula O’Neil PhD (Pasco comptroller and clerk of court) who just completed her final round of Chemotherapy days earlier in her own battle against breast cancer. The walkers wound their way all around the new Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel stopping for water stations and petting the mounted horses from the Pasco Sheriff's Office.

As the second most common form of cancer found in women, breast cancer is a formidable enemy, but it is one that can be beat. We're enlisting an army of individuals to help us create greater awareness about the life-saving benefits of annual mammograms and early detection, all while having a great time with people we love.

The community was invited to tour the new hospital on Sunday, September 16 where Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel staff offered tours of the hospital, including the state-of-the-art emergency department. Participants also enjoyed games, entertainment, kids’ activities, giveaways and a free lunch.
