WOMEN HELPING WOMEN
Pardee Hospital Foundation announced the 2017 Women of Hope award recipients at the 20th annual Women Helping Women Luncheon today at Blue Ridge Community College.
Susan Bullard, Pam Laughter, Sally Massagee and Pat Whiteside were honored at this year’s event, which raised more than $140,000 to help uninsured or under-insured women receive a mammogram or other important health screening.
Best-selling author and CBS contributor Lee Woodruff was the keynote speaker.
“Susan, Pam, Sally and Pat exemplify what it means to be Women of Hope,” said Kimerly Hinkelman, executive director of Pardee Hospital Foundation. “Not only did these women overcome the odds, they did so with incredible strength, grace and dignity. We are so pleased to honor them as 2017 Women of Hope and know their stories will inspire others to face challenges with a similar spirit.”
