“Our entire imaging services team is committed to putting the patient first,” said Doug Zaren, administrator for Memorial Regional Hospital South. “We support our patients and their families through the entire care experience.” Experienced and compassionate care is provided by board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologists and technologists, who are certified by the American College of Radiology.
Zaren explained, “Should the need arise, our patients have ready access to Memorial Healthcare System and ongoing clinical trials, providing patients with high-quality care. Extensive cancer services are available throughout our healthcare system and our team is trained to guide patients every step of the way.”
Personalized Breast Imaging Care
Advances in understanding of the role of genetics, family history and other exposures have altered the Memorial Healthcare Systems approach to breast imaging. Breast imaging exams are now tailored to each individual patient, according to Zaren, and each patient participates in a family risk profile, developed by the National Cancer Institute, so we can best meet patients breast imaging needs.
Sophisticated imaging options include the leading-edge R2 Image Checker, which digitally analyzes mammogram images. Following diagnostic testing, results are read and interpreted at the hospital by board certified physicians who specialize in breast imaging. Patients can also count on the team at the Womens Institute of South Florida at Memorial Regional Hospital South, which includes exceptional board certified physicians who specialize in breast oncology, breast pathology and breast surgery.
As part of the hospitals focus on womens care, it offers additional resources and expertise to meet the varied health needs of women in a compassionate, family-friendly setting. Patients have access to educational resources, lectures, screenings and support groups in a comfortable, homelike environment. Health and wellness programs are focused on supporting women and families throughout their healthcare journeys.
