On October 29, 2008, Choice Home Health, Inc. and Choice Hospice, Inc. will be going Passionately Pink for the Cure to raise funds for the fight against breast cancer. It's passionate, because the need to end breast cancer is so urgent. It's pink, because that's the color we'll wear to accomplish our goal.
Jars of candy are being distributed among metro area businesses encouraging local public to make donations to The Susan G. Komen for the Cure campaign.
And, on October 29th, the employees of Choice will celebrate "The Cause" by wearing pink and showing our true colors by going Passionately Pink for the Cure and becoming official "Passionistas". The website for online donations is Susan G Komen

Several of our staff members have started their own weight loss team program by exercising during their lunch time each day. Monday mornings are accompanied by the usual chat of the previous weekend, but now it is a-buzz with weight loss talk.....or gain!
So far, the Choice Home Health and Hospice team has lost over 60 pounds.
