Our mission is to provide breast care to women in central and southern Illinois that it is:

Patient Centered

In the event of a diagnosis of breast cancer, patients can meet with all the necessary specialists on the same day rather than going from office to office and appointment to appointment. Instead of worrying and waiting, patients can quickly determine their health status and begin proactively planning their treatment.

 

Comprehensive

Another unique aspect of the Breast Center is its commitment to providing a full range of care for patients. A nurse practitioner, licenced social worker and registered nurses trained and certified in breast health issues guide patients through the whole process - from the first appointment to securing the necessary follow up.

 

Multidisciplinary

The Breast Center is unique because of its multidisciplinary, team approach. This collaborative effort ensures patients that their diagnoses and treatment plans are based on the most current peer reviewed research for surgery, medical and radiologic oncology physicians. These physicians work together to develop a treatment plan especially for you.

 

Research Based

In addition, many of the center's physicians participate in cancer research, which means the newest, most advanced methods of detecting cancer are used for both diagnosis and treatment.
