A change in breast care is coming to San Antonio. When it opens this summer, the
Baptist Breast Center will offer comprehensive breast care – from screening mammograms and genetic counseling, to biopsy, diagnosis, and should cancer be found – treatment and rehabilitation.
“We will provide services for the entire spectrum of breast care,” says Morton Kahlenberg, Medical Director of the Baptist Breast Center. “Women will be able to count on the Baptist Breast Center for any needs regarding her breast care.”
The Baptist Breast Center philosophy puts patients in the center, whether their need is a yearly mammogram or the multidisciplinary team approach a diagnosis of cancer requires. A team of breast specialists walks with patients during and after each woman’s journey. Breast care Guides meet with patients at the time of recommendation for breast biopsy and provide education, support and guidance every step of the way. Breast Center physicians are board certified and continue to obtain specific breast related education to offer the most up-to-date treatment and care. Some of the benefits of care with the Baptist Breast Center are:
- State-of-the-art imaging and diagnostic technology
- Genetic counseling for women who have a family history of breast cancer
- Information on cancer prevention
