Not only is October National Physical Therapy Month, it’s also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Throughout the month, our team members have shown their support and encouragement for all those affected by breast cancer through the #realmenwearpink campaign. Hosted by the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer participants fundraise and bring awareness to breast cancer by wearing pink. These fundraising efforts help support ground-breaking breast cancer research, early detection efforts and families and loved ones impacted by the disease. As you can see, our amazing team members have gone above and beyond for this great cause. We’re proud to be Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Thank you to all our team members, patients and community members who participated! #NPTM2020 #FeelGoodFriday #BreastCancerAwareness
