Best Breast Centers by the Women’s Choice Award®, America’s trusted referral source for the best in health care.

top 7 percent of 4,789 U.S. hospitals offering breast care services. According
to the American Cancer Society, about 1 in 8 women in the US will develop
invasive breast cancer during their lifetime, and it is the second leading
cause of cancer death in women.
“Saint Mary’s Center for Cancer prides itself on providing
top quality care through screening, state of the art technology, and dedicated
local services,” said Patty Sredy, RN, BSN, administrative director
of Saint Mary’s Center for Cancer. “We are proud to have earned
the America’s Best Breast Cancer designation, in addition to our
national and regional accolades for our Breast Center of Excellence.”

Choice Award, the Center has an esteemed accreditation by the National
Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, accreditation in Radiation Oncology,
Breast MRI, Breast Ultrasound, CT, Mammography, MRI, Ultrasound and Stereotactic

Tomosynthesis, also known as a 3-D mammogram, which allows doctors to
look at breast tissue from multiple angles. The Center boasts success
through service from its nurses and the expertise of its providers including
the region’s only breast radiologist Chivonne Harrigal, MD and oncology
certified breast nurse navigator, Amy Thompson, RN, OCN, CN-BN.
