Scrubs & Beyond is doing more than recognizing National Breast Cancer Awareness Month -- they are supporting it by donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of specific items to the American Cancer Society. If you need a new set of Peaches scrubs or nursing accessories, now is the time to get them so you can help support those in need of assistance.

The American Cancer Society® (ACS) does more than just research. Did you know that the ACS also supports other programs that help cancer patients such as the Look Good...Feel Better® program? They help women who have had chemo and radiation look good with wigs, and feel better about themselves by offering to show them how to put on make-up in a much different way than before. If you see someone in a pair of Dickies scrubs they might be from the program but often times it's people who have already been through it that offer their help to those in need.

The ACS provides a complete set of recommendations for early detection of breast cancer. They also offer help to those who are diagnosed with breast cancer. One program is Reach to Recovery and is facilitated by trained volunteers who are breast cancer survivors. They help newly diagnosed patients cope by providing emotional support and information so the patient can make informed decisions. It is Scrubs & Beyond's goal to help raise money to support these programs which are so important to those impacted by breast cancer. The breast cancer awareness nursing accessories and scrubs that are available in the catalog and online will help you show your support of the ACS while looking polished and professional.

What Is Breast Cancer?

Breast cancer is a tumor that has become malignant - it has developed from the breast cells. A 'malignant' tumor can spread to other parts of the body - it may also invade surrounding tissue. When it spreads around the body, we call it 'metastasis'. Read more...
