LewisGale Medical Center has officially entered the 2016 Medline Pink Glove Dance video competition for a chance to win a $15,000 donation to the Komen Foundation and generate social media attention. The filming may be over but these dedicated dancers need your vote!
The Medline Pink Glove Dance is the only campaign of its kind to bring together nearly 250,000 healthcare professionals, patients and communities to celebrate hope for a cure. It is also the only competition to honor all who have been affected by the disease through the joy of dancing.
The fun and creative video features participants from LewisGale Medical Center, affiliated physicians, Roanoke Fire and EMS, Roanoke City Police Department, and various community members, with 150 participants dancing to Meghan Trainor’s Better When I’m Dancin. The dancers are all wearing pink-colored exam gloves to support breast cancer prevention and to let those facing the disease know they are not alone in the fight.
“To think that 150 people joined together to make this video a reality is truly inspiring,” said Amy Woods, DNP, RN, assistant chief nursing officer. “Our video is a meaningful and memorable way to remember, honor and support those dealing with breast cancer and we’re so excited to be part of this movement.”
