CHA is proud to offer expert Breast Health Services at several Boston-area locations. Our Breast Health Initiative is supported by the Avon Foundation, and we collaborate with the American Cancer Society on advocacy and outreach. We are also designated as a Community Hospital Cancer Program by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer.
CHA offers state-of-the-art Digital Mammography at three locations - our Cambridge hospital, Somerville hospital, and Whidden hospital campuses. This new technology allows us to offer next-day appointments for annual screening mammograms!
Women with abnormal mammogram results are referred to Cambridge Breast Center, which has offices at our Cambridge and Whidden Hospital campuses. The Breast Center provides comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services, including personalized support for women to help them better understand their health options.
The Cambridge Breast Center is led by Diane Lockhart, MD. Dr. Lockhart is a graduate of the UMass Medical School and a highly regarded breast surgeon.
Dr. Lockhart is joined by Dr. Blake Cady, an international leader in the field of Breast Health. He served for eight years on the National Board of the American Cancer Society.
The Cambridge Breast Center model brings together experts from Oncology, Surgery, Radiology, Social Work, Nursing and other fields to meet the needs of women and their families. We consider every breast lump or abnormal mammogram as a medical emergency, and we do everything possible to provide information in a timely manner, and coordinate our services to meet your health needs.
