IRMC President Steve Wolfe talked about the importance of the campaign to the Hospital and to the M. Dorcas Clark Women’s Imaging Center.
This year’s guest speaker was Dr. Lynn Botelho, an IUP Professor, fencing champion and world traveler. As she relayed her story on her journey through breast cancer, she said she was extremely lucky in some parts of her life.
Indiana Healthcare Foundation Executive Director Heather Reed said that this year, the Love of Life Campaign funds will be dedicated towards purchasing another 3D mammography setup.
Reed added that this year’s event was a record turnout with over 175 people in attendance.
Another major event in the Love of Life campaign is the annual 5K run, which is scheduled for October 15th at 9:00 AM in Downtown Indiana. You can log on to www.loveoflife5k.com for more information and to register.
