Dr. Pamela Benitez, a surgeon and co-founder of the Shades of Pink Foundation, joins The 1 Girl Revolution Podcast to share her inspiring life story, how she decided to get into medicine and become a surgeon, how she’s helping people every single day, and how one conversation with a patient led to the Shades of Pink Foundation.
The Shades of Pink Foundation was founded in 2005 and has worked with hundreds of breast cancer patients and their families and has helped alleviate the financial burden that many patients and their families face. Many patients diagnosed with breast cancer have extra financial burdens placed on them during treatment and recovery, but that is something that is not often talked about. Common financial burdens include mortgage payments or rent, insurance payments, transportation costs, childcare, and other essentials of daily life. The Shades of Pink Foundation is dedicated to reducing financial stress for those undergoing breast cancer treatment by providing prompt funding for daily living expenses. Since their founding in 2005, the Shades of Pink Foundation has provided more than $2 million of financial support to help cover the costs of everyday living expenses and by paying the bills directly, the Shades of Pink Foundation helps relieve patients of that burden, and gives them the peace of mind necessary to move forward in their treatment and recovery.
