Local Restaurant Gives Doylestown Health $12K For Breast Cancer Awareness Month

DOYLESTOWN, PA — The owners of two Warrington restaurants designated half of their profits every Monday in October to Doylestown Hospital, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Mike and Antoni Christou, who own Ardana Food and Drink and KC Prime Steakhouse, presented checks totaling over $12,000 to Doylestown Health on Nov. 15. This is the second fundraiser of its kind by the restaurant owners, who honored American Heart Month by donating half of Tuesday sales throughout February.

“We are back to doing our normal business, both dine-in and takeout, and are happy to be able to give back and support our community,” says Mike Christou, co-owner of Ardana Food & Drink and KC Prime Steakhouse. “We wanted to continue to show our appreciation for Doylestown Hospital, and supporting the Women’s Diagnostic Center during Breast Cancer Awareness Month seemed the perfect way to do it.”

The Women’s Diagnostic Center at Doylestown Hospital is one of the newest priorities of ONE VISION: The Campaign for Doylestown Health. Formally reopening as the Clark Center for Breast Imaging in the spring of 2022, the Women’s Diagnostic Center at Doylestown Hospital will relocate to a larger space on the ground floor with increased capacity to serve more patients with lifesaving services, therapies, and technologies.

“Support like this is what will allow us to move to a new and improved space and help us meet rising demand for diagnostic services in our community,” said Michele Kopach, MD, director of the Women’s Diagnostic Center. “We can’t thank Ardana and KC Prime enough for supporting this initiative.”

Doylestown Health is also offering free mammograms and breast cancer screenings year-round, through the Pennsylvania Department of Health’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program.

“People shouldn’t be neglecting their health concerns just because they don’t have the insurance to pay for it,” Amy Stein, social worker and oncology services coordinator at Doylestown Health’s Cancer Institute, said. “I wish there were a program for every possible need a patient might have. But at least for women and men who need this kind of testing, we’ll have it available for them now.”
