Fountain waters will be tinted pink and the exterior canopy will be same hue as Florida Hospital Waterman hosts its third annual Pinking Ceremony on Tuesday to raise awareness and to honor those who have been affected by breast cancer.

The 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. ceremony is open to the public and will be hosted at the main entrance of the Tavares hospital.

Dr. Ahmed Al-Hazzouri, medical oncologist; and Dr. Ramaswami Krishnan, will speak along with a breast cancer survivor. A mini-health expo also will be presented.

?We expect to see hundreds; this event is very significant,? said Renee Furnas, special events coordinator for the hospital.

?It?s an event to recognize those that have been touched by breast cancer, and just about everybody has, whether it?s somebody that they know or it has been themselves,? she said.

Furnas said the feedback from attendees at the 2011 Pinking Ceremony was extremely favorable and that the hospital is committed to making it an annual attraction to remember those who fought hard battles against breast cancer and encourage those who are still fighting.

Florida Hospital Waterman offers a wide range of breast cancer services. Furnas said the fountain water and pink illumination of the atrium canopy at night will remain pink throughout the month of October ? Breast Cancer Awareness Month ? to serve as a visual display of the hospital?s commitment to early breast cancer detection, the importance of quality cancer care and research.
