Shop Pink in Mid-County to Benefit Breast Cancer Awareness

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, which means a variety of pink products will be hitting the shelves throughout St. Louis. But do your pink purchases always go toward the cause?

A wave of pink is flooding stores everywhere, as retailers participate in Breast Cancer Awareness Month. For the savvy shopper, it's an opportunity to donate to a good cause while snagging unique, pink-hued items in the Mid-County area in St. Louis.

Breast Cancer Support Groups in Mid-County

In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, here's a list of St. Louis-area breast cancer support groups.

One in eight American women and one in 1,000 American men will develop breast cancer at some point in their lives. It’s estimated that more than 2 million people are diagnosed with breast cancer and fight for their lives each year. Breast cancer is difficult to face alone—for both patients and their loved ones. To help in the battle, there are a number of local resources and support groups. In Richmond Heights, the Girl's Night Out Support Group offers education and support for breast cancer survivors, the SSM Cancer Care website states. The meeting happens from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month at SSM St. Mary's Health Center, 6420 Clayton Rd. More information is available by calling Angee Brewer at 314-768-8045.

St. Mary's Dedicates New Hospital Lobby, Entrance

The ceremony at SSM St. Mary's Health Center in Richmond Heights happened Thursday afternoon.

*Editor's note: An earlier version of this article incorrectly described the interior of a fountain at SSM St. Mary's Health Center. The interior is painted to look like the terrazzo flooring once located inside Mother Concordia Hall. This article has been updated to include the correct description. A large crowd of people gathered Thursday afternoon at SSM St. Mary's Health Center in Richmond Heights for a blessing and dedication of the hospital's new lobby and entrance. "This is just the beginning," Chief Nursing Officer Patti Kelley said. She said the changes come in conjunction with the hospital's renewed attention to its mission, specifically women's health. The new entrance, which faces Clayton Road between Bellevue and Yale avenues…

It's hard to see from the outside, but wing-by-wing renovations to the patient rooms have actually been taking place over the last few years. We opened new maternity rooms on 6-West in early 2011 and 5-East reopened this month. Both are Mother-Baby units. It is difficult to showcase patient areas in quite the same way as a common area as the lobby, so please watch for details on an open house …   more ›
