Healing Breast Care

Our therapies help you heal

We believe that specialized care produces results and helps you heal faster. Our team of caring professionals work together with you to help you heal from within.

With the Fort HealthCare Healing Breast Care Program, no one need face the diagnosis of breast cancer alone. Our program provides a place where you can receive ongoing care and support to help with your own individual healing process. Skilled and friendly staff members are there with you – to walk you through difficult times and each step in your healing journey.

This program, with support from the Fort Memorial Hospital Foundation, positively impacts the lives of those affected by breast cancer and their families in beautiful and memorable ways.
