Breast Cancer Program
A Fully Accredited, Multidisciplinary Breast Program
The Breast Program at CaroMont Health holds full accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a distinction earned by fewer than 10% of hospitals nationwide. This accreditation reflects our commitment to delivering the highest standards of care in screening, diagnosis, treatment and survivorship.
Every patient's case is reviewed by our multidisciplinary breast tumor conference, so your treatment plan reflects the expertise of the entire team.

Your Experience
What to Expect: Your Patient Journey
From your first call to ongoing survivorship, our breast nurse navigators are with you at every step, coordinating care, answering questions and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
1. Referral & Scheduling
Your primary care physician can place a referral, or you may self-refer. Our team will contact you promptly to schedule your initial visit. We know the time between a concern and a first appointment can feel long, and we work hard to make sure you feel informed and supported from that very first call.
2. Diagnostic Workup
Before any surgical decisions are made, your team will complete the tests needed to fully understand your diagnosis. This may include a mammogram, ultrasound, biopsy and MRI if needed. Having a thorough and accurate picture of your health ensures every recommendation going forward is grounded in the right information.
3. Tumor Conference
Your case is presented at our weekly multidisciplinary tumor conference, where specialists collaboratively develop your personalized treatment plan. This means your care reflects the collective expertise of breast surgeons, oncologists, radiologists and other dedicated members of your team rather than a single perspective.
4. Treatment & Surgery
Surgery, medical oncology and radiation therapy are coordinated seamlessly, and your navigator is available throughout to address questions and concerns. Our goal is for you to always know where you stand, what comes next and that someone who knows your case well is just a phone call away.
5. Survivorship & Follow-Up
After treatment, our survivorship program monitors your long-term health, manages side effects and connects you with support resources. We'll continue to be a partner in your health through regular follow-up appointments, making sure you have everything you need to move forward with confidence.
Preventive Care
