St. John's Hospital Foundation Hosts #GoPinkJH Après Ski Party

2-Mar-2016

St. John’s Hospital Foundation will host a #GoPinkJH Après Ski Party to support women’s health on Saturday, March 5, from 3 to 5 pm, at the Spur Restaurant in Teton Village.

#GoPinkJH supports women’s health by promoting the importance of early detection and regular healthcare visits. #GoPinkJH also helps to raise funds for the St. John’s Hospital Foundation’s Women’s Health Care Fund, which provides assistance to women who find it difficult to afford the medical care they need.

In addition to enjoying hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar, party attendees can learn about St. John’s #GoPinkJH programs, including the Women’s Health Care Fund and the regional Teton Pinky Promise program to improve screening rates for Wyoming women. Attendees will be among the first to hear about the new 3D mammography exams that will be offered at St. John’s Medical Center this summer. Suggested donation to attend the party is $20.

This is the second winter that community #GoPinkJH Ambassadors are helping St. John’s spread the word about important women’s health programs. Throughout the winter, Ambassadors wear bright pink ski helmets emblazoned with St. John’s and #GoPinkJH stickers. “The pink helmet is definitely a conversation starter, helping spark the discussion about the impact of the Women’s Health Care Fund and other initiatives of the hospital and the Foundation,” said John Goettler, president of the St. John’s Hospital Foundation.

The Women’s Health Care Fund reaches hundreds of women in Teton County and surrounding communities annually, enabling them to get critical medical care they would not be able to access otherwise. The Fund is supported by Soroptimist of Jackson Hole, which donates proceeds from its successful Bras for A Cause event. Other supporters include Stripping for The Cure, an annual all-women fishing event; The Spur at Teton Mountain Lodge, which donated proceeds from dinners during Breast Cancer Awareness Month; Fine Dining Restaurant Group, which named the Women’s Health Care Fund as the beneficiary for a week of off-season specials; Wyoming Affiliate of the Susan G. Komen Foundation; and the Community Foundation of Jackson Hole.

Teton Pinky Promise is a partnership with area hospitals to improve breast cancer screening rates for women. Wyoming and Idaho rank 49th and 50th among the 50 states for women getting recommended breast cancer screening. To improve health for regional women, Teton Pinky Promise asks women to go online and pledge that they will talk to a doctor about screenings that may be appropriate for them.
