Women's Health Specialists, one of the region's premier providers of health care for women, was the major sponsor for the 2006 Pink Ribbon Golf Challenge held Saturday, September 30, at the PGA National Golf Club in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Proceeds were designated for the American Cancer Society's Making Strides Against Breast Cancer campaign.
