Paint the Town Pink Ribbon Cutting Ceremony
 Please join us on Friday, September 30, 2011 at 10:00 am as we officially cut the pink ribbon to kick off our “Paint The Town Pink” month of activities. The ribbon cutting will take place in our “Healing Garden” located at the main campus of Opelousas General Health System. Come by and check out the decorated bras and pick up some valuable breast cancer educational materials.
