Amid pink balloons and desk decorations, and prominent pink banners that proclaimed “Courage, Strength & Hope,” Mount Sinai staff located at 160 Water Street also wore pink—and plenty of it—every Friday in October to commemorate Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The all-pink effort was led by Carmen Cacho, Carmen Abreu, Evangeline Counts, and Dawn Wiggins, Financial Representatives on the Patient Financial Services team.
“Cancer affects all of us, whether you are a daughter, a mother, a sister, a friend, a co-worker, a doctor, or patient,” says Ms. Abreu. Adds Evelyn Placencia, Director, Patient Financial Services, Patient Accounts (Commercial Unit), “Here at 160 Water Street, we are a family. Decorating and acknowledging the month of October signifies our love, support, and unity for family, co-workers, patients, and other colleagues throughout the Mount Sinai Health System.”
