Your personal breast care coordinator

Someone to turn to every step of the way

Who you can talk to if:

  • It's time for your first mammogram and you have questions
  • You discover a lump in your breast or your physician finds something suspicious
  • You are scheduled for a biopsy and are scared
  • Breast cancer runs in your family

The fear of breast cancer is very real. We understand the sensitive and significant nature of breast health. That's why we have breast care coordinators -- registered nurses who specialize in breast health and breast health information.

"Thank you again for getting me through my breast cancer scare.  It was such a comfort to know you were there for me." - Pat

A breast care coordinator will:

  • Listen to your concerns
  • Guide you to a wealth of resources
  • Help you understand what to expect of any tests or treatments
  • Answer your questions

Personal attention to your needs

A breast care coordinator serves as advocate, navigator, educator and partner at any stage in your breast health experience.  Our personal coordinators can help if:

  • You want to start a personalized breast health program
  • You experience a great deal of anxiety when facing a mammogram
  • Breast cancer runs in your family and you want to know how to best protect yourself
  • You or your physician detect a breast lump and you are afraid of the next steps
  • You have been diagnosed with beast cancer and want to talk about treatment options
  • You are considering breast reconstruction surgery or need breast fitting devices
