The Breast Health
Program
Most patients with an urgent breast health issue
face a series of appointments and procedures with a seemingly
unconnected maze of departments. That’s not the case at Boston
Medical Center.
Our Breast Health Program incorporates a coordinated
multi-specialty approach to care, linking internal medicine,
surgical oncology, radiology, medical oncology, radiation
oncology, and other breast health specialists together as one
connected team. This patient-centered approach results in rapid
access, personalized care, and streamlined patient visits. All
new patients are given expedited appointments in the Belkin
Breast Center, where they are seen by either a medical or
surgical breast specialist. Patients with an urgent problem are
usually seen within a day.

An essential part of the program is a weekly multidisciplinary
breast cancer conference in which the entire team collaborates
on a comprehensive evaluation, and plans the best, most
individualized treatment regimen and follow-up care for patients
with breast cancer. There is ongoing communication with the
patient and his or her primary care provider—so everyone is kept
up to date and informed.
