On the occasion of Pink October, the Centre Hospitalier Ariège-Couserans (CHAC) is mobilizing throughout the month to raise awareness about breast cancer screening and prevention.

Since October 1st, several initiatives have been offered within the establishment to inform and emphasize the importance of prevention. The program includes self-palpation workshops, in partnership with the League Against Cancer, open days for mammography, and various awareness-raising actions.
The 'Every Tuesday in Pink' challenge encourages CHAC professionals to wear a touch of pink every Tuesday in October. Teams are invited to share photos of their mobilization to highlight this collective commitment. Small pink ribbons, made by staff members, have also been distributed throughout the facility to mark the launch of this campaign.
Through these various actions, CHAC aims to raise broad awareness about breast cancer prevention and underscore the crucial importance of screening. The institution calls on professionals, patients, visitors, and partners to mobilize together throughout October.
