Dr. Curtis Wong will also present the latest in breast reconstruction surgery after a positive diagnosis and mastectomy. A unique opening to the event will include a warm welcome from Terry Wheatly, co-founder of Tough Enough To Wear Pink and breast cancer survivor. "When Soroptimists International of Red Bluff heard about the event, we were all in and wanted to do all that we could to support this very important topic," offered Bobie Hughes, president of the Red Bluff group. "We have co-sponsored and hosted several women's health topics over the years, but this one stands to be one of our best." The presenters for the event provide impressive resumes and experience. Wheatly is not only the co-founder of the nationally recognized Tough Enough to Wear Pink Wrangler campaign, she is also an entrepreneur and breast cancer survivor. The Tough Enough To Wear Pink campaign, which has been adopted by most rodeos and several equine and other sporting events across the nation, has raised over $12 million dollars donated to breast cancer organizations across the nation including the St. Elizabeth Imaging Center. The radiologists of the Imaging Center along with local patients have enjoyed the proceeds from this national and locally popular campaign that lands at the Red Bluff Round Up annually. Speaking on the latest in breast cancer detection will be radiologist, Casey. Casey is a native Californian and a graduate of the Loma Linda University School of Medicine class of 1976. He is board certified in Radiology and relocated to Red Bluff in 1992. Casey has been a member of the St. Elizabeth medical staff for 21 years. Speaking on breast reconstruction will be Wong, plastic surgeon. Wong received his degree from Creighton University School of Medicine in Omaha, Neb. and completed his general surgery residency at the University of Kansas-Wichita School of Medicine where he also received the Dean's award. His Plastic Surgery Residency was completed at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, all very far from his hometown in Hawaii. He began his practice in Redding where he was voted the best cosmetic surgeon by After Five Magazine and now sees patients in Red Bluff and Redding.
