You may not know that Pomona Valley Hospital’s Breast Health Center is the only facility in the area to be designated as an American College of Radiology Breast Center of Excellence. What that means is that we can be assured the highest practice standards in digital mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy, breast ultrasound, ultrasound-guided breast biopsy and breast MRI. At the Breast Health Center they place a high priority on providing women with accurate evaluation and appropriate services in a timely manner. In order to measure and improve the quality of services to our patients, we have continued to participate in the National Consortium of Breast Centers. This gives our multidisciplinary Breast Health Task Force the ability to track our performance in more than 20 separate quality measures and compare our performance with other participating centers around the county.

And I’m also happy to be part of her support team while on her treatment journey.
