Go Pink
Each October, Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare (TMH) and the TMH Foundation partner with our community to stand against breast cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As the region’s leader in breast cancer care, TMH and the Tallahassee Memorial Cancer Center will host and participate in events focused on spreading awareness and providing education.
Our annual Go Pink initiative and partnership with the TMH Foundation also raises funds for breast cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment, as well as research into its cause – and a cure.
When you give to the TMH Foundation, you directly impact local breast cancer patients, right here in Tallahassee.
See what we have planned this October and how you can join us below.

Support Our Walker Breast Program
You can provide financial support to patients at the Walker Breast Program in October and all year long through the TMH Foundation.
Patients fighting breast cancer need your help now more than ever.
These patients rely on the services your generosity provides, such as:
- PET scans, MRIs and mammograms for patients who do not have health insurance
- Hotel lodging for patients who have to travel and stay overnight in Tallahassee to receive treatment
- Gas or rides for patients who must drive long distances to Tallahassee for treatment or don’t have transportation
Simply put, your generosity allows the Tallahassee Memorial Cancer Center to support each patient in the way that’s most meaningful to them.
Give to the TMH Foundation at TMH.ORG/GivePink.
Breast Cancer Education and Resources
Walker Breast Program
The Walker Breast Program is Florida’s longest continuously accredited comprehensive community hospital cancer program and the Big Bend region's only accredited breast program by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC). The Walker Breast Program provides patients in the Big Bend region personalized, comprehensive and compassionate care for breast health. Offering a wide range of services, patients have access to advanced screenings for preventive care, diagnostics and testing, state-of-the-art treatments, as well as breast health education and support programs, all conveniently located on TMH’s campus.
Sharon Ewing Walker Mammography Clinic
The Sharon Ewing Walker Mammography Clinic is the only program in the Big Bend region recognized as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology (ACR) and accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC).
We offer a full array of diagnostic services for the detection of breast cancer - with early detection, breast cancer can be caught sooner. This means a better chance of remission and survival.
American Cancer Society
The American Cancer Society is one of the nation’s leading authorities on cancer. Their mission, much like ours at the Tallahassee Memorial Cancer Center, is to free the world from cancer. Learn more about breast cancer, risk factors, prevention, screening, research and statistics at Cancer.org.
