Your mother, your sister, your daughter, you. You are the woman behind some statistics that no one likes to hear. One woman in eight will get breast cancer in her lifetime. One in three, older than 40, will be diagnosed with a breast health concern. More than 140,000 women living in Snohomish County alone are aged 40 or older and each of them needs a screening for breast cancer. For these women and all women, Providence Everett Medical Center introduces the Comprehensive Breast Center. Located on the first floor of the new Pavilion for Women and Children, the Center is the largest of its kind in Puget Sound and is a partnership between Providence Everett Medical Center and local physicians. The Comprehensive Breast Center is different because it truly is comprehensive, combining the most highly skilled physicians, the latest advances in treatment, leading-edge technology and the support and sensitivity that comes only from experience.
