patient-focused, multidisciplinary care. Our team of health care providers
is committed to providing tailored treatment plans for each individual’s

We strive to meet the needs of patients and
their families in a sensitive and supportive environment by:
¢
Tracking the size of breast cancers we find while constantly seeking ways to
find breast cancers in their earliest stage when they are more treatable.
¢
Offering centralized scheduling so patients can obtain an appointment by
dialing one number and can get an appointment easily within the week. Call
417-820-2500 or 800-364-6120.
¢
Employing dedicated mammographers (radiologists who specialize in breast
imaging), mammography-certified technologists and a nurse clinician who
navigates patients through the system and remains a resource to them beyond
their recovery phase.
¢
Providing follow-up care. Your treatment involves more than technical care.
Our nurse clinician is available to explain what you might expect, discuss
any family issues and listen to your concerns. Recovery and follow-up can
include physical therapy, psychological counseling, social services, and
peer support groups to provide support for you during the various stages of
your treatment and recovery period.
