Prevention
At Baptist, preventing a disease is just as important as treating it. The Baptist Comprehensive Breast Center actively works to help prevent breast cancer and catch it at its earliest stages through community education. The center’s breast health specialists are actively involved in the community teaching women how to detect breast cancer and telling them about resources available to them. For more information about breast cancer prevention or to schedule a visit from Baptist’s breast health specialists, call (901) 227-9694. Healing the Body and the Mind While it is important to help patients recover physically from an illness, Baptist also is committed to helping breast cancer patients heal emotionally and spiritually. Having breast cancer is such a life-altering event that it may be difficult for patients to recover and heal without the support of an outside source or organization. That’s why the comprehensive breast center provides patients with a listing of local breast cancer support groups and organizations. Also, free emotional support for patients is available through Women Helping Other Women, a support group of breast cancer patients and survivors that meets at Baptist Memorial Hospital for Women. A psychologist specializing in breast cancer counseling facilitates the group. Spiritual support also is available through the Baptist Women’s Hospital chaplain’s office.  Top of Page |
