Creating spaces designed for peace of mind
Breast health care can be uncomfortable, anxiety-inducing, stressful, and an emotional journey. The Mary K. Chapman Comprehensive Breast Center fund supports a dedicated space that offers comprehensive services, from health assessments to post-treatment. At Ascension St. John, this new space allows us to continue to provide world-class technology, physicians, surgeons, oncologists, nurses, and other staff in one space, so our patients can remain calm and confident in the all-inclusive quality of care they receive.
Our vision is to provide continuous funding for state-of-the-art technology that will provide higher detection rates to help ensure better outcomes and success throughout the patient experience, giving patients one less thing to worry about when their world feels in turmoil.
