MedWatch host Brent Cannon sat down with former KSEE24 anchor and Buddy Check host Stefani Booroojian. Although she recently retired, her legacy in the Valley includes decades as a host and advocate for breast self-exams and early detection programs.
Q: Cannon
Do you remember when you first got involved with Buddy Check 24? I mean, in the very beginning. What was it like?
A: Booroojian
It actually was an assignment, and at that time there was a national movement about October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month. We launched the program in October. The whole Pink Ribbon movement, everything was kind of evolving at that time.
Q: Cannon
Did you have any idea what it would become and the impact that it would have? Way back in those days.
