CMZ Flash Mob First Practice for BREAST WELLNESS FAIR 2014

Please watch it in You Tube and Click LIKE (if you do)!

For the Breast Wellness Fair 2014, Ciudad Medical Zamboanga decided to have a hospital-wide FLASH MOB participated in by about hundred staff from all levels of the hospital including the Execom, doctors, nurses, technologists, pharmacists, admin and finance staff, maintenance and dietary as well as some kids who wanted to join in.

The CMZ Flash Mob symbolizes all of us dancing to support Breast Wellness and Breast Cancer Awareness during October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and also signifies one of the ways to lower Breast cancer risk which is through exercise and increase in physical activity!

Kenneth Ivan Saclolo and Sherniaa Absari, our own CMZ nurses took the lead to conceptualize and teach the dance steps.

This was taken during the first Flashmob practice and interestingly, in less than an hour, everyone seems to be attuned and have learned the steps. 

CMZ is so proud of our own workforce who are so talented, united, dynamic and "simply fabulous!"

“Behind the scenes” footages are always fun to watch...and so let us enjoy viewing this...

GO and FIND YOURSELF in the Video!

And always remember our mantra for the CMZ BREAST WELLNESS FAIR!

LOVE YOUR BREAST. HAVE THEM CHECKED.

EARLY DETECTION AND TREATMENT SAVE LIVES!

P.S. 

CMZ is a 160-bed tertiary private hospital in Zamboanga City, with more than 500-strong workforce. CMZ is the first hospital ever to garner the Philippine Quality Award given and was conferred by President Benigno Aquino III last March 21, 2014 at Malacanang Palace for the 16th Cycle PQA Awards.

Breast Cancer Awareness  is CMZ's premiere Corporate Social Responsibility and thus the launching of the CMZ B.R.A. (Bra to Raise Awareness) Campaign Project last February 2014 and with one of its highlights, the CMZ Breast Wellness Fair 2014 for the Zamboanga City community!
