Hospital staff from all over the country have put together music videos to raise awareness about breast cancer.
It’s a competition – but in a fun way. This is the second year for the Pink Glove Dance competition.
"It started last year and it’s tripled in the amount of dancers. It went from 20,000 to 80,000. 300 of those were from Castle. We got our own video in and it raises breast cancer awareness," says Helene Waihee of the Castle Medical Center.
The words "hospital" and "fun" rarely go together. But in this case, the staff had a lot of fun putting the video together.
"We really did. I mean it does take a bit of a commitment from the employees and the physicians, but once we got into it, we had a great deal of fun and the employees got behind the video and it’s all we talk about right now," Waihee says.
Waihee says there was a lot of cooperation throughout all of Castle Medical Center.
"we had about 33 departments who participated in some way and we even had visitors – when we shot the beach scene – who wanted to be part of of the project, so they joined," Waihee says.
How’s the competition going?
"We are currently number 10 out of more than 260 organizations and we want to be number one," Waihee says.
