Carson Tahoe Regional Healthcare is working with Carson City to turn the region pink for breast cancer awareness. This is the 9th year of ThiNK PiNK. We will be lighting up the capital grounds with pink lights to bring awareness to breast cancer.
Think Pink is a community effort brought to you by Carson Tahoe Regional Healthcare to promote breast cancer awareness. Early detection is the best defense against breast cancer - when caught and treated early, breast cancer has a 97% cure rate. It is our hope that through advocacy and outreach education with our surrounding communities, women will recognize the importance of annual mammograms, monthly breast self exams, and other early detection tools. We invite you to join us in our mission by supporting Think Pink and helping to spread the word about the importance of early detection.
