Spotlight on Cancer: ECU Health Beaufort Hospital to light up for awareness

The goal is to spread the word about early detection for screenable cancers.

Stacey Lynch, Shepard Cancer Center Development Council, told us about the colors, “The most recognizable would be pink for breast cancer, so our campus for the month of October would be lit pink, and we’re hoping that that will be a reminder for people, for women to get mammograms.”

Pam Shadle, with ECU Health Beaufort Hospital, spoke about the event, “We will have refreshments, we will have speakers that will talk a bit about the purpose of the event. We’ll have some testimonials from families who’ve been impacted.”

The event starts at 7:00 on Thursday night and refreshments will be served.

Organizers will turn on the lights for the first time at 7:45 that evening.
