Since Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee’s new breast center officially opened in October, residents of Muskogee—as well those in neighboring communities—are benefiting from much easier access to the health system’s comprehensive breast health services.

“The location of our new breast center is conveniently located on-site in the newly renamed Xavier Building directly in front of Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee—as opposed to its previous location on our East campus,” says Nora Rosenke, manager, Oncology and Breast Center, Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee. “Patients are quickly realizing how much easier it now is for them to get their mammograms here. And if additional testing is required, we can quickly get it scheduled and send them to our radiologist down the hall—rather than five miles down the road.”

Room to Grow The doctors and staff members at the Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee Breast Center are elated about the opening of their new facility—and also about how it will continue to enhance their patients’ care well into the future. The new breast center currently features two mammography units—with plenty of room to add a third unit in the near future.

Advanced Diagnostic and Screening Technology In addition to mammography units, Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee Breast Center is also equipped with other advanced diagnostic and screening devices including breast MRI and ultrasound (for women with dense breast tissue), as well as Automated Breast Volume Scanner (ABVS), which aids physicians in detecting breast cancer in certain patients.

“We are extremely excited that area patients can now receive Saint Francis breast health services in such a streamlined and accessible manner,” Rosenke says. “In addition to serving people who live in Muskogee, we also believe the new Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee Breast Center will serve as a regional resource and a more convenient option for folks living in nearby rural communities.”
