WHY CHOOSE ST. JOSEPH’S HEALTH FOR BREAST CARE AND SURGERY

Our multidisciplinary approach to breast and endocrine disease ensures coordinated, comprehensive, up-to-date treatment plans.

St. Joseph’s Health Imaging offers 3D Tomosynthesis mammography, breast ultrasounds and thyroid ultrasounds in our office so that you do not need to go beyond our suite when imaging is needed: one-stop care with your provider appointments and imaging in the same place.

We present you with an individualized, patient-centric approach to care, treatment and follow-up.

We identify if you are at high risk of developing breast cancer, and we offer a program for monitoring you closely.

We offer access to our Genetic Counselor, located in the same office. She will help identify risks for a gene abnormality and can recommend testing, if necessary. She can also counsel those found to have an abnormal gene mutation.

We have routine weekly multidisciplinary Breast Cancer Conferences with all specialists present to discuss each person's case in detail, making sure that all agree on a treatment plan.

Our dedicated breast and imaging Breast Care Navigator helps guide and support you through all facets of care, from the referral to our office, to helping with coordinating your appointments and follow-up care. The Breast Care Navigator can also let you know of local services that offer support to you and your loved ones.

We facilitate access to our partner’s community survivorship program that is coordinated around your specific needs. It provides details of the treatment you had, and it will also explain how your team will monitor you in the future, once the treatments are done.
