The Breast Health Center
Sutter Roseville Medical Center

A Specialized Program for Women
The Breast Health Center at Sutter Roseville Medical Center is part of our continuing effort to provide excellent patient care in the communities we serve.

The Breast Health Center is a comprehensive program designed to meet the wide variety of needs women have in relation to their breast health. Services include educational and support resources, screening programs, diagnosis, intervention, treatment and management of many different diseases of the breast.

Digital mammography takes half the time to perform and provides results within seconds. Digital mammography also offers better visibility, especially through dense breast tissue and near the skin line and chest wall. Physicians are able to enhance the images and zoom in for a closer look - options not available through traditional mammography. By using the most advanced equipment available, the Center ensures women get immediate answers and seldom need to return for additional images.

Our team consists of physicians from many specialties, nurses, technologists, data managers, social workers, research coordinators and many volunteers who make the care we deliver personal and special for each patient and her loved ones.
