It Takes a Team to Fight Breast Cancer
Posted by Nathan Switzer on Tue, Nov 24, 2009
Someone recently pointed out this video to me as an example of how a heartfelt video can speak much louder than any words. In this case, the "words" came from a group of breast cancer fighters in Oregon who work at Providence St. Vincent, a sister facility. What strikes me about this video is that highlights the many different people who work to provide care and hospitality to patients. From the environmental services crew, to the barista who smiles as she hands over a coffee, to the lab techs who carefully handle test tubes, everyone makes an appearance. The video isn't preachy, but is tied together with pink gloves and the exuberance of a team of professionals who are passionate about the cause of fighting breast cancer. I believe I even saw an actual patient joining in the dance, which reminds me that "Laughter (and possibly dance) is the best medicine." It also appeared to me in one scene that some patients were in the background, wondering what in the world was going on, and probably harboring (like me) a secret desire to star in a healthcare music video on MTV (Medical Television).
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did, and please share as you see fit.
