The Breast Center operates within a Commission on Cancer (CoC)–accredited cancer program and is fully integrated with the Calaway-Young Cancer Center. Care is delivered through a coordinated, multidisciplinary model that includes breast imaging, medical oncology, radiation oncology, genetics, nurse navigation, survivorship, and supportive services.

The program also includes in-house plastic and reconstructive surgery, allowing seamless coordination of combined breast oncologic and reconstructive cases. Breast surgeons participate in a general tumor board, reinforcing evidence-based care and shared clinical decision-making.
