Officials with the Memorial Hermann Health System and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center announced Nov. 3 the expansion of their collaborative breast screening and imaging program.

The program, which started last November, made MD Anderson the exclusive provider of professional breast radiology services at several Memorial Hermann locations.

“It’s great to collaborate with Memorial Hermann to bring the resources of two outstanding teams to patients in these communities,” said Jay Parikh, medical director of the joint program. “Catching breast cancer early offers patients the best possible options for treatment.”

The number of partnership locations in the Greater Houston area has grown from 10 to 14. The four new locations were added in the Cy-Fair, Willowbrook, Upper Kirby and Pasadena communities, officials said.
