This past Saturday, Health First proudly sponsored Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Brevard at The Avenue Viera — bringing together survivors, thrivers, families, and friends. Over 5,000 attendees joined in, raising $165,000 (and counting!) to support the fight against breast cancer. 💗

Westanna “Stanna” Bobbitt, was among 300 survivors celebrated at the walk. Diagnosed with Stage One breast cancer in 2020, Stanna beat the odds and continues to inspire with her positivity, advocacy, and reminder to stay vigilant with early detection.
We’re honored to stand with survivors like Stanna, our patients, and the community in supporting awareness, research, and hope.
