Glendale Memorial Hospital Partners with Glendale Police and Fire for October’s Breast Cancer Awareness

Glendale Memorial Hospital and Health Center (GMHHC) is honored to be this year's sponsor and benefactor of the Glendale Police Department's Breast Cancer Awareness Initiative.

This week, representatives from Glendale Police Department and Glendale Fire Department brought their pink wrapped cruiser, motorcycles and battalion trucks to the hospital to launch the month-long effort to raise awareness around breast cancer.

 

Glendale Police Officers’ Association (GPOA) has partnered with the #PinkPatchProject and proceeds will be donated to Glendale Memorial’s Cancer Research. Members of the community can purchase a limited edition patch for $10 at the front desk of the police station. Glendale Memorial Hospital’s Cancer Services participates in many National Cancer Institute (NCI) cooperative group trials and leading pharmaceutical and biotech sponsored studies. As such, GMHHC’s patients can benefit by being among the first in the latest trial cancer treatments including breast cancer.
