Making Rounds on Fox 10 News: Infirmary Health's High-Risk Breast Cancer Program

Tammy Pugh, Certified Registered Nurse Practitioner (CRNP) with Infirmary Health’s High-Risk Breast Clinic discussed who and what is considered “high-risk” for breast cancer during Fox10's Making Rounds segment. With October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Tammy also emphasized that Infirmary Health provides personalized services with a program specifically for high-risk patients.

This clinic offers genetic counseling and testing, risk-tailored screenings that include more frequent breast exams and enhanced breast imaging with 3D mammography and breast MRI. Patients also learn techniques for performing self-breast exams and about risk-reducing strategies, such as diet, exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, limiting alcohol intake and limiting menopausal hormone replacement therapy.
