Breast Health Services
Our Breast Health Services bring together a highly specialized team dedicated to providing you with comprehensive screening and diagnostic capabilities, and advanced treatment for breast cancer and routine breast care.
Shellie Campos, NP discusses how early detection of breast cancer saves lives and facilitates treatment options.
A Personal Approach
John Muir Health uses a multidisciplinary approach to tackle complex and difficult breast cancer cases. Our tumor boards consist of experienced breast surgeons, plastic surgeons (available by referral), gynecologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists, radiologists, genetic counselors, nurse practitioners, a nurse navigator, and a patient care coordinator who focus their efforts to design individualized treatment plans that will improve outcomes for each patient. We work with you to get the treatment and resources you need to help you get well again.
John Muir Health is one of four institutions nationwide to be recognized as a Certified Quality Breast Center of Excellence by the National Consortium of Breast Cancers and has been accredited by the American College of Surgeons/Commission on Cancer as a Nationally Accredited Program of Breast Centers (NAPBC) continuously since 2010.

Pre-Treatment Planning Conferences
After biopsy, every high risk and breast cancer case is reviewed by a multidisciplinary panel of doctors and healthcare professionals to help ensure quality of care, timeliness, and that all options, tests, and resources have been evaluated.
Single Day Cancer Program
All in one day. All in one place.
Breast cancer diagnosis is a comprehensive, single-day setting to minimize the time between diagnosis and treatment. On the day of your appointment, you will meet with a breast surgeon, medical oncologist and a radiation oncologist. The group will answer all your questions and design a treatment plan with you.
Our multidisciplinary cancer clinic is designed to evaluate patients with diagnosed breast cancer in a comprehensive, single-day setting to minimize the time between diagnosis and treatment. On the day of your appointment, you will meet with a breast surgeon, medical oncologist and a radiation oncologist. Each physician will discuss the most appropriate course of treatment for you based on the consensus opinions of the group and answer all of your questions regarding your cancer.
The team approach saves you and your family the anxiety and uncertainty of waiting days and weeks between individual appointments. This single day setting minimizes the time between diagnosis and treatment. It lets you focus your energy on what’s important: getting well.
Your referring physician is invited to attend the meeting with the multidisciplinary team. Otherwise, we will send our recommended treatment plan to your referring or primary care physician.
