The highly anticipated Regina Breast Health Centre will officially open its doors to patients next week on April 23. The new centre will provide a variety of services, including diagnostic imaging, biopsies, specialist consultations, patient education and navigation, as well as other future on-site post treatment therapies and rehabilitation. Co-location of essential services at the Breast Health Centre will allow family physicians and nurse practitioners to provide a single referral rather than coordinating multiple referrals. This streamlined approach will reduce wait times and improve the patient experience in what can often be a challenging time. Patients will receive coordinated care from the time they are referred by a primary care provider through assessment, diagnosis, and treatment if required (including surgery and/ or referral to an oncologist), as well as connections to other services for therapies, rehabilitation or reconstructions. Multi-disciplinary teams will include breast radiologists, breast specialized surgeons, nurse navigators, diagnostic imaging professionals, physiotherapists, a social worker and support administrative staff all working together and closely collaborating as a team to provide timely care and a better patient experience.
