Healthy in Pink Delivers Education & Inspiration

Breast cancer’s impact in our community is vast. The journey through diagnosis, treatment and survivorship comes with many questions, fears and challenges. Healthy in Pink is an event that sets out to answer those questions, diminish those fears, and inspire renewed courage in the face of those challenges.
 
Hosted by the Watson Clinic Foundation, this year’s event took place on Thursday, October 19 from the Lone Palm Golf Club in Lakeland. Attendees enjoyed a Q & A panel led by Dr. Elisabeth Dupont, Watson Clinic Women’s Center Breast Surgeon and Medical Director of Breast Health Services at Watson Clinic.  Joining her were Watson Clinic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon Dr. J. Scott Ferguson, Watson Clinic Cancer & Research Center Radiation Oncologist Dr. Sandra Sha and Oncologist-Hematologist Dr. Shalini Mulaparthi. Each addressed questions related to breast cancer risk factors, treatment protocols, and emerging therapies on the horizon.
 
The centerpiece of the event was a presentation and performance from Anita Cochran, an acclaimed best-selling country music singer and songwriter who was diagnosed with triple positive breast cancer in 2017. Ms. Cochran shared her story of survival before performing Fight Like a Girl, an inspiring anthem she wrote to encourage women battling similar challenges.
