Members of Intermountain’s Pharmacy team recently participated in the American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer fundraising walk at Liberty Park in Salt Lake City. The pharmacy team, dubbed Intermountain Rx for Hope, participated in honor of Pharmacy team members Kathy Povilus and Tina Flygare, both currently coping with breast cancer diagnoses and treatment. Kathy was able to attend the event.
“Receiving a diagnosis of cancer was devastating,” Kathy says. “When I saw my teammates ready and willing to walk for me and others affected by breast cancer, it had such an emotional impact on me. I’m so grateful to have the love and support of my Ambulatory Care Pharmacy Team to help me along this journey.”
The Pharmacy team contributed $2,249 to the cause, with donations coming from across the various specialties and disciplines of the Pharmacy Department. Intermountain Rx for Hope was listed on the American Cancer Society event page as a top ten team for their fundraising efforts.
