The Advanced Breast Center at Wellington Regional Medical Center was recently recognized as a certified participant in the National Quality Measures for Breast Centers (NQMBC) program for the second year in a row. This distinguished honor represents a commitment to provide the highest level of quality breast healthcare to patients in the community. “This certification is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team,” WRMC CEO Pam Tahan said. “We are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality care,

has taken a major step to ensure they provide the best possible quality care to patients. “Being recognized as a certified participant in the National Quality Measures for Breast Centers program is a significant accomplishment,” Tahan noted. “It reflects our ongoing commitment to excellence in breast healthcare and our dedication to adopting the latest advancements in medical technology and treatment protocols.” The experience of Advanced Breast Center patient Mary Jane Poverstein illustrates the importance of having this WELLINGTON THE MAGAZINE | July 2025 25
