UMC Hosts Power Of Pink Event Ahead of Breast Cancer Awareness Month

EL PASO, Texas – University Medical Center of El Paso (UMC) is honored to be the host of this year’s Power of Pink, a celebration for El Paso breast cancer survivors sponsored by the Rio Grande Cancer Foundation.

Power of Pink is a community project made up of various area hospitals, non-profit organizations, and local foundations.
