Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women after skin cancer. It most often occurs in middle-aged and older women. Fortunately, increased awareness and screenings have helped reduce the number of breast cancer deaths by 20% since the late 1980s, according to the American Cancer Society.

Mammograms are the first line of defense to detect breast cancer early, possibly before it has spread. 

Throughout our health system we provide a wide range of breast health services as well as the latest in mammogram technology so you can get the most accurate information and the most effective screenings for prevention.

For breast cancer diagnoses, our multidisciplinary breast care teams and centers of excellence are highly accredited with treatment, recovery and survivorship programs to meet your needs.
