“The nurses made sure I never
felt alone.”
As part of its Women’s Health Services, Saint Agnes Hospital is proud to offer a major initiative in the fight against breast cancer with our new Breast Center program of rapid diagnosis, education and support.
Admittedly, there is nothing more unnerving than discovering you have a lump in your breast. While roughly 80 percent of breast lumps are not cancerous, the natural reaction in women is one of great anxiety. It is Saint Agnes’ desire to greatly reduce this anxiety as well as the stress associated with finding a lump in your breast.
Our Breast Center staff is making it possible for rapid entry into a multidisciplinary system of care. This concerted effort between surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, and other physicians enables the Breast Center medical staff to streamline the process of detection to diagnosis in as few as five days.
