AHN’s Wexford Health + Wellness Pavilion houses the Home for Hope for pre-menopausal women with breast cancer, supported by the Glimmer of Hope Foundation. This program acknowledges their special challenges, such as responsibilities for careers and families. These women get help from a patient care navigator, who will coordinate appointments, a nutritionist, free child care during treatments, and massage or acupuncture sessions. A world leader in breast conservation… and survival AHN surgeons practice minimally invasive surgical treatments that protect a woman’s general health, and limit removal to the tumor and small portions of the surrounding breast tissue. Even when a mastectomy is needed, AHN surgeons conserve as much healthy tissue as possible, to retain a natural look or make reconstructive breast surgery easier. For breast cancer warriors, with help from AHN experts, there is hope for the future. Call 412-DOCTORS (362-8677) to find a specialist or schedule an appointment.
