CommonSpirit - Pink Gala

10/20/2026

"Scanxiety” is real—but a mammogram is only the beginning of the conversation.

For Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we sat down with Casey Waddle and Angela Reich, two of our Breast Care nurse practitioners, to talk about why breast imaging shouldn’t be a source of fear and the importance of having someone by your side throughout your breast health journey.

They also share what drew them to breast health and oncology, the most rewarding part of caring for patients, and advice for anyone considering a career in the field.

Thank you to Lunar_Womb_Chattanooga for hosting and welcoming us into your space for this special October gathering, focused on raising breast cancer awareness and highlighting the Mary Ellen Locher Breast Center right here in Chattanooga.

As your Color Chattanooga Pink co-chairs, Lady Addie and Lady Rebecca, sharing our stories brought a personal connection to the conversations we’re sharing this month. We hope our experiences encourage you to know your body, notice changes, and speak up when something doesn’t feel right. 🩷

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month—a time to raise awareness, encourage conversations, and recognize the people behind every diagnosis.

We sat down with Dr. Washburn, a surgical oncologist at Breast Care Associates, to talk about the human side of caring for patients with breast cancer. Get to know Dr. Washburn beyond the white coat.

This content was made possible in part through support from Pfizer, whose sponsorship helps support our efforts to care for and educate patients in our community.
