The Houston Methodist Breast Care Center at The Woodlands celebrated a decade of service, according to a Feb. 26 news release.
The two-minute impact
Since opening in 2016, the center has served more than 200,000 patients, becoming a regional destination for screenings and diagnostic care for residents locally and from communities several hours outside the Houston area, according to the release.
Officials said the facility was created to expand access to early detection services closer to home while providing individualized care in a supportive setting.
“When the Breast Care Center at The Woodlands opened, our team came together from surrounding communities with a shared purpose: to create a place where women could find answers and receive one-on-one care,” Ashley Carriage, day-one staff member and breast ultrasound technologist at Houston Methodist Breast Care Center at The Woodlands, said in the release.
The center offers advanced imaging and diagnostic services, including digital mammography, 3D breast imaging, ultrasound, MRI screenings and image-guided biopsies designed to detect abnormalities earlier and improve treatment outcomes, per the release.
According to the release, the facility is now recognized as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence and holds accreditation through the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers.
