As we come to the end of Breast Cancer Awareness M

As we come to the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we're sharing an important message for high-risk patients from Heather Wheatley, NP. "Our goal for all identified high-risk patients is to offer them a more personalized, aggressive breast imaging/follow-up plan – not only to catch any change or concern early but also to provide them with the peace of mind that they have a team behind them focused on their breast health. If you are not sure that you qualify for high-risk surveillance, feel free to reach out to get scheduled for a high-risk assessment." Whether you need breast cancer screening and prevention strategies or diagnosis and treatment, we’ll coordinate your complete breast health care for your full and healthy life. Call (762) 356-4780 to connect with our Comprehensive Breast Health Care providers.
