Breast Health Program
Working in partnership with women in southern Alberta
We believe:
- That women needing breast assessment require prompt, accurate diagnosis and treatment of breast health problems.
- That women are empowered in decision making by receiving education and emotional support as they work through this process.
- That using the expertise of a multidisciplinary team will provide comprehensive care for women and their families.
- That it is important to involve your family doctor throughout this process
