Chain of Caring October is breast cancer awareness month. The REACH for Breast Health Program at North Adams Regional Hospital has come up with an innovative way to promote awareness through its Chain of Caring ® campaign.
The Chain of Caring® is a community effort to make people aware of ways to prevent, treat and find a cure for the many forms of breast cancer and a celebration of the power of many working together to accomplish common goals…in this case to cure breast cancer.
Contributions raised will help provide breast health educational materials, counseling, screening and outreach for all women in our community. The contributions will also help to provide patient navigation and support services for women who are newly diagnosed, currently undergoing treatment, recovering, or who live among us today as survivors.
The "Chain” is actually made up of pink tyvek wristbands upon which people write the first name and home town of someone they care about OR who cares about them. These bands are then formed into circles and linked together to create a long Chain of Caring® representing the concept of the strength of uniting and working together for the same cause…this one to find better treatment and cures for breast cancer. The bands will be printed with the phrase “REACH Out ~ Link Up~ Connect for a Cure.”
If you would like to participate in the Chain of Caring, please call

We welcome businesses as well as individuals to join us to REACH Out ~ Link Up ~ Connect for a Cure! |
