For the month of October, CHANNEL 5 NEWS, and Take 5 will raise breast cancer awareness in the Rio Grande Valley. Our goal is to promote early detection through compelling stories and specific marketing messages while working with a local business.

Join us on Sundays and Wednesdays for interviews with doctors and survivors.

Heart of the Valley: Breast Cancer Awareness is supported by South Texas Health System.
