Center offers coordinated breast care

UW Hospital and Clinics has opened a new center that offers women a coordinated approach to breast care by bringing all medical disciplines together.

“Our goal is to make every woman’s breast health care experience as smooth as possible,” says James A. Stewart, a medical oncologist and medical director of the UW Breast Center. The center, he says, provides comprehensive care from mammography to biopsy to ultrasound in one location.

The center’s team members include breast radiologists, surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, pathologists, nurses, mammography technologists, and medical and clinical assistants.

A community open house for the center will be held on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2-5 p.m. Gifts and refreshments will be provided.
