Breast Health

Who We Are and What We Do

Many women will develop breast problems at some point in their lives. Fortunately, most breast abnormalities are normal responses to common hormonal changes. But early detection of breast cancer means a 98 percent survival rate and gives women time to consider surgery and treatment alternatives.

The staff at Lee Health’s Breast Health Centers delivers comprehensive, compassionate care in your time of need.

We use a variety of breast examinations designed to provide the most accurate diagnosis possible at convenient locations. We give our patients peace of mind with innovative technology, board-certified physicians who specialize in breast health, and technologists certified in mammography and breast ultrasound.
