In October, CHANNEL 5 NEWS is shining a light on breast cancer in the Rio Grande Valley. Our goal is to promote early detection through compelling stories while working with a local business.

Join us on Mondays on CHANNEL 5 NEWS at noon and 6 for interviews with doctors and survivors.

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