The Center for Breast Care works closely with the nationally recognized Cancer Center at OVMC to provide our patients and their families with quick and easy access to the best in quality cancer care management in a facility located close to home.
We believe the diagnosis of cancer should never abolish hope, weaken faith or disturb one's peace of life. We understand that there is much more to our patients' lives than their disease and there is more to cancer care than medical treatment. Navigating through the many diagnostic testing and treatment steps in the breast cancer treatment process can be a confusing and challenging time for a patient and their family. However, patients and their families can find comfort in knowing there is a support system to lean on during the diagnosis and treatment process. We are here to help you navigate the maze of treatment while providing hands-on caring personal support and guidance from our team of highly skilled professionals.
