Exciting New Breast Health Program Launched in Greenville
Greenville is gearing up for a game-changing development in breast health and cancer care! Bon Secours St. Francis Health System has just rolled out a comprehensive breast health and cancer care program that promises to make a significant difference in the Upstate region. This new initiative is all about enhancing care by using the latest technology along with a patient-centered approach, ensuring that everyone gets the treatment they deserve.
A Leader in the Field
To lead this exciting new program, the health system has appointed a highly qualified breast surgery specialist as its medical director. This expert comes with an impressive track record in breast cancer diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship care—a perfect fit for steering such an important program. With a strong focus on early detection and personalized treatment plans, she is enthusiastic about ushering in a new era of breast cancer care in the community.
Integrating Services for Better Care
The new program isn’t just about having a brilliant medical director at the helm; it’s also set to integrate services from the Pearlie Harris Center for Breast Health located at St. Francis Eastside and the Bon Secours St. Francis Cancer Center. This means that all services and support for patients will be streamlined and more accessible than ever before.
One of the highlights of this initiative will be a brand-new surgical procedure suite at the cancer center, scheduled to open in May. This state-of-the-art facility will allow for on-site, minimally invasive procedures, making it easier and more convenient for patients to receive the care they need.
Plans for a Comprehensive Breast Clinic
But that’s not all! The health system is also planning to launch a comprehensive breast clinic at the Bon Secours St. Francis Eastside campus later this year. This clinic will serve as a hub for all things related to breast health, ensuring that patients have access to top-notch care close to home.
Prioritizing Early Detection
An exciting part of this new program is the continued operation of two mobile mammography units. These vehicles are crucial in supporting early detection efforts in the Upstate. Being able to provide mammograms in various communities makes it easier for women to get screened, which is an essential step in early breast cancer detection.
Raising the Standard of Care
The overall goal of this comprehensive program is to deliver a full spectrum of care, from initial screenings and diagnosis to treatment and survivorship planning. The health system has made it clear that they are committed to raising the standard of breast care in the Upstate, demonstrating their dedication to the health and wellbeing of the community.
