Breast health first
Standing O is heaping on the praise for Maimonides Breast Cancer Center for leading the fight against a killer disease.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and approximately 232,000 cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed this year alone — many of them in our borough, according to the American Cancer Society.
Housed in the Gilbert Rivera Pavilion of the Maimonides Cancer Center, the Breast Cancer Center provides dedicated and comprehensive care offering everything a woman needs to take on this disease and win.
“Though we’re making noticeable progress in this battle, it is still extremely important for women to continue to get annual screenings and mammograms,” said Dr. Patrick Borgen, chairman of the Department of Surgery and Director of the Maimonides Breast Cancer Program. “Early detection is vital to increasing the rate of survival among breast cancer patients.”
State-of-the-art imaging machines, superior care from screenings to surgery, and more, greet patients.
“Not only do patients receive superior medical services, but our staff’s team-mentality provides patients with a sense of family and support,” the physician added.
Put your breast health first and visit the Maimonides Breast Cancer Center, where your good health is their goal.
