Helping others is at the heart of everything Dr. Michelle Bean does. As a two-time breast cancer survivor, her journey has shaped a deep commitment to ensuring that no woman faces breast cancer alone.

​

Dr. Bean is the Founder and President of PINK “ME”®—a nonprofit organization created to provide Information, Networking, and Knowledge through “My Experience.” What began as a personal mission has grown into a powerful movement of support, connection, and advocacy for women and families navigating the breast cancer journey.

​

Since its founding, PINK “ME”® has built a strong and compassionate community—offering programs designed to meet women where they are. One of its signature initiatives, Connected by Cells, provides a vital sense of connection through texts, calls, and emails—ensuring that those in treatment or survivorship are supported, heard, and never alone.

​

Through community events, outreach, and partnerships, PINK “ME”® continues to raise awareness about the importance of early detection and breast health. Initiatives like Mammograms Matter expand access to screenings and education, helping to remove barriers and save lives.

​

At the core of this work is a clear and powerful vision:
to ensure women lead healthy, fulfilled lives within a supportive community—empowered to advocate for themselves, understand their options, and feel encouraged every step of the way.
