Hartford - Breast Cancer Care

Breast Cancer Care 
in the Greater Hartford Community

 

With a focus on disease prevention, risk assessments, and wellness, Saint Francis Hospital’s breast program, in collaboration with the Smilow Cancer Hospital at Saint Francis, demonstrates our ongoing commitment to taking an integrated, coordinated approach to health care for women.

Patients benefit from world-class clinicians and personalized protocols with the assistance of nurse navigators who help coordinate care. Women with breast health concerns benefit from a streamlined approach to breast cancer prevention, genetic testing, diagnosis, treatment, and recovery and have the opportunity to schedule medical appointments, including same day imaging.

Program Highlights:

  • Efficient Care: Services offered include 3D digital mammography.
  • Care close to home: Mammograms are available in our Enfield, Glastonbury, and Hartford locations.
  • Innovative Technology: Our Breast Surgeons are equipped with the latest SmartClip™ technology from Elucent Medical for intraoperative localization of breast lesions which eliminates the need for wires to be placed on the day of surgery, allowing for a more comfortable experience for the patient and more precise targeting to minimize the amount of tissue removed.
