On Wednesday, June 22, beginning at 5:30 p.m., University of Maryland Shore Regional Health will host a Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Celebration at the Clark Comprehensive Breast Center, 10 Martin Court in Easton.
Named in recognition of a $5 million gift from The Clark Charitable Foundation, Inc., a private philanthropic organization funded by the A. James Clark Family, the Center’s expansion was part of a $6.5 million renovation project at UM Shore Regional Health’s Diagnostic and Imaging Center, housed at that same location.
The 16-month project, which began in February, 2015, was completed in three phases and in addition to the expansion of the Breast Center to its new location, encompassed all laboratory and imaging spaces.
Under the leadership of medical director, Roberta J. Lilly, MD, MPH, FACS, the Clark Comprehensive Breast Center provides a variety of breast health services including diagnosis and treatment of benign and malignant breast disease. Other services available include support groups, telemedicine genetic counseling services, the Wellness for Women program, a breast screening program that promotes early detection of breast cancer, and a Women’s Health Boutique for post-mastectomy garments, prosthetics and swim wear.
The Diagnostic and Imaging Center offers laboratory and imaging technologies including phlebotomy; digital mammography with Tomosynthesis (3-D); bone density screening; ultrasound; MRI, PET and 64-slice CT scanning; X-ray; fluoroscopy; EKG and Cardiac CT Scoring.
