Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Fight breast cancer.
Not addiction.

October 1st – 31st, 2026

A patient with breast cancer can be introduced to opioids at many stages throughout their battle and recovery. Match One Medical is partnering with Venous Systems Inc, M1 Labs, Laboratory Sciences of Ohio, TAFFOA and Glimmer of Hope to raise awareness around breast cancer and narcotic-free pain management tools.

Why It Matters

Pain relief shouldn't come with a second battle

From biopsy and surgery through reconstruction and recovery, breast cancer treatment involves real pain, and at each of those stages a prescription for narcotics is often the default. For many patients that is where a second, unexpected fight begins.

#PinkOutPix exists to make sure patients, families and clinicians know there are narcotic-free tools for managing pain, and that asking about them is always an option.

"If you can prevent somebody from ever turning to opioids, you can prevent them from getting addicted." Chaz Jannuzi, Match One Medical, as featured on CBS News Pittsburgh
