It’s Time to Think Pink!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to raise awareness about the impact of breast cancer. According to the American Association for Cancer Research, breast cancer is considered to be the most common type of non-skin cancer in women in the United States, and is second to lung cancer as a cause of cancer death in American women.
At Heritage Valley, we want to make sure that every woman has access to the services she needs and the support she deserves. BreastCare is our comprehensive, integrated breast health care program. The primary locations for the program are the Heritage Valley Women’s Health Centers in Center Township and Robinson Township. We are proud to note that each of the Heritage Valley Women’s Health Centers is designated as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
The Heritage Valley BreastCare program offers a range of services, from screening and diagnostic breast imaging to treatments for breast cancer. All these services are available within the Heritage Valley Health System network. Care is delivered by committed, high-quality physicians, so regardless of your situation and treatment plan, you don’t have to travel far for service. Our BreastCare Navigator is specially-trained to work with patients to compassionately coordinate all services.
Beyond the BreastCare program’s homes in Center and Robinson Townships, there are additional screening locations in the Medical Neighborhoods located in Calcutta, OH; Center Township/Monaca; Chippewa; Edgeworth; and Ellwood City.
