The word “breathe” on the backdrop behind an all-women panel made perfect sense given the topic of this year’s Women in Medicine luncheon: discussing the dangers and treatment of lung cancer.

The 11th annual luncheon, held by Sarasota Memorial Healthcare Foundation, seeks to educate women on topics related to their health.

Held March 19 at Michael’s On East, about 450 guests listened to Dr. Amy Budke, Dr. M. Blair Sharshall and Amie J. Miller as they discussed various topics surrounding lung health and what to be aware of.
