The entire staff of the Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital Breast Care Center shares a common goal, namely, to find breast cancer at its earliest stages when it is more treatable, thus giving the patient her best chance for a cure.
Our New Breast Care Center Offers Complete Resources for Breast Health
-
We provide wide-ranging services -- from screening through treatment - to meet all of a woman's breast care needs.
-
Our philosophy is to provide a caring, comprehensive and thoughtful approach to breast health.
-
Our Radiology staff pledges efficient, courteous and timely services by applying the latest technology (including digital mammography, breast MRI and all other imaging modalities), the highest quality technical and interpretative services, and immediate scheduling for additional imaging and biopsies if necessary.
-
Upon diagnosis of breast cancer, each patient can be assured by the center's team of physicians, technologists, nurses and non-clinical support staff to see her through whatever she needs to address her specific situation, including access to a wide variety of resources and programs.
-
These services are offered to both privately insured and underserved populations.
Ongoing Team Communication Ensures Superior Patient Care
-
Team members attend a weekly breast conference at which every breast cancer case is discussed in a lively interaction of healthcare professionals, from radiology, surgery, pathology, pharmacology and oncology, as well as ancillary services such as physical therapy and psychological assistance.
-
The Center's comprehensive approach of providing all aspects of breast care means that each patient is assured of seamless communication among all caregivers, resulting in a more efficient, effective and tailored approach to meeting each patient's individual needs.
-
In progress are plans to establish screening processes which identify patients with above-average risk of developing breast cancer in order to offer them more intensive screening and genetic testing when appropriate.
-
Future plans include developing an outreach program to make sure that all women of screening age get regular mammograms as recommended.
