Every three minutes a woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer. Although researchers are still searching for answers on what causes cancer, we know that education and early detection save lives. That’s why St. Francis is proud to provide the Kitty DeGree Breast Health Center.
Located at St. Francis North Hospital, the Kitty DeGree Breast Health Center represents an exciting leap forward for women’s health in our region. Combining state-of-the-art technology, dedicated doctors and staff, and a warm, attractive atmosphere, the center offers a unique all-in-one solution for comprehensive, multidisciplinary breast care.
From routine breast screenings to prompt evaluation and treatment of breast disorders, we offer a complete range of diagnostic and treatment services including digital mammography and High Definition Breast MRI technology. These advanced techniques provide crystal clear imaging for more accurate diagnoses, as well as reducing physical discomfort and exam time for patients. When additional studies beyond the initial screening are required, wait time for follow-up appointments is greatly reduced. Often, patients can be seen the same day.
