Meet Our 2026 PINK Ambassadors 🎀
This year, Lackey Memorial Hospital wanted to put real faces and real stories behind breast cancer awareness. We reached out to members of our LMH family and invited staff members who are breast cancer survivors, along with staff members and breast cancer survivors in their immediate families, to become our first-ever PINK Ambassadors.
These women are more than a pink ribbon. They are survivors, daughters, mothers, sisters, friends and coworkers whose lives have been touched by breast cancer in very personal ways. In the weeks leading up to our “Pearls for the Girls” Ladies Night on October 1, we’ll be sharing their stories of HOPE in Pink & Pearls.
Because behind every ribbon is a real woman. Behind every survivor is a story. And sometimes, hearing someone else’s story is exactly the hope another woman needs.
Meet PINK Ambassador Sandra Watkins, LMH Business Office Clerk. 🩷
Sandra’s story began in January 2010 when she found a lump in her left breast. She was diagnosed with Stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma and began a journey that included six rounds of chemotherapy and the removal of her left breast.
For 15 years, Sandra continued with her regular mammograms. Then breast cancer entered her story again. This time, she was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer involving her lymph nodes.
Sandra then made the decision to have her other breast removed before beginning treatment. Following surgery, she endured another six rounds of chemotherapy and 20 radiation treatments.
Today, Sandra shares the words we hope every woman facing breast cancer will someday be able to say: “I am now in remission.”
She continues to take medications, but when Sandra tells her story, she knows exactly where she wants the glory to go:
“I am giving God all the glory for bringing me through this again.”
Sandra, thank you for trusting us with your story and for representing Lackey Memorial Hospital as one of our first PINK Ambassadors. We celebrate your remission, your strength and your willingness to share your journey so that another woman facing breast cancer might find a little more HOPE for her own. 🩷

Whether it’s inside the walls of our hospital or out in the community, we’re proud of our healthcare professionals who show up, serve and stand ready when they’re needed.
A big thank you to them all for helping keep the cowboys, cowgirls and rodeo fans safe throughout the weekend! 🤠🚑
