Six screening mammography sites and two mobile mammography vans performed nearly 43,000 screens in 2021, leading to more than 8,000 diagnostic mammograms, 7,800 breast ultrasounds and 400 new cases of breast cancer.  1,680 breast procedures were performed in 2021, 250 of which were assisted by the use of Savi Scout technology.
All new cancer cases are supported by active Surgical, Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Precision Medicine, Research, Integrative Medicine, and Nurse Navigation programs.  The Clinical Research Department employs two Research Coordinators devoted to breast cancer protocols and nine Genetic Counselors and a Breast Cancer Medical Oncologist are part of the Precision Medicine team.  Collaboration efforts are available and encouraged in both Research and Precision Medicine.
