What can you expect from the region's best breast care center?
Start with comprehensive breast health services that continually exceed national best practice standards, confidence in knowing you are in skilled hands and peace of mind that you are getting the best care possible. And there's more...
At the Breast Care Center at St. Joseph Hospital, we are reaching out to the entire region to promote breast health for all women, in particular those at higher risk for breast cancer.
You'll meet with expert clinicians who employ the latest technologies, like 3D Mammograms or Tomosynthesis, to find cancer early when it is most treatable. You'll have the opportunity to sit down with our on-site radiologist to discuss test results without a long waiting period and get referrals to the resources and specialists you may need for further testing and treatment. The best part is they are all right here in a comfortable, convenient setting where the attention is focused on you, the patient.
