Pink PPE for October Cancer Awareness Month
by mdsassociatesPink. It's More Than a Color-It's a Statement
The month of October is commonly referred to as National Cancer Awareness Month, an annual health campaign organized by major cancer charities to increase awareness of this disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and cure.
The use of the color pink during the month of October has grown in popularity year after year. From sporting events to patient exams, the color pink expresses moral support for cancer patients particularly women with breast cancer, and encourages women to seek preventative measures such as annual mammograms. Many organizations show their support by donning pink work apparel.
