Park Ridge Health Receives the 2016 Women’s Choice Award® as one of America’s Best Breast Centers

PRESS RELEASE – Park Ridge Health is honored to be the recipient of the 2016 Women’s Choice Award® as one of America’s Best Breast Centers. This evidence-based designation is the only award that identifies the country’s best breast centers based on robust criteria that considers female patient satisfaction and clinical excellence.
The list of more than 450 award winners, including Park Ridge Health, represents breast centers that have met the high standards of the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) and carry the Breast Imaging Center of Excellence (BICOE) seal from the American College of Radiology. Breast centers associated with a hospital must receive a rating in the top 75% from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) patient recommendation measures, or their equivalent in the case of breast centers without hospital affiliation.
“The Park Ridge Health Breast Center is dedicated to compassionately meeting the needs of each patient,” said Jimm Bunch, Park Ridge Health Chief Executive Officer. “Having those same women we have cared for rank us in this elite grouping of America’s Best Breast Centers is truly an honor.”
“Providing care that allows women to feel comfortable and confident that they have access to state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment choices for their breast health is the primary goal of the Park Ridge Health Breast Center,” said Jason Wells, Chief Operating Officer, Park Ridge Health Physician Enterprise. “We offer each woman a care team who will walk alongside her in this health journey.”

Early detection education

Board-Certified Surgeons who are members of the American Society of Breast Surgeons

Breast cancer is the second most common form of cancer among American women according to the American Cancer Society. One in eight women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime.
“Whether it’s an annual mammogram or addressing a more serious concern, every woman deserves the best breast care and an opportunity to live a healthy life. By letting women know which breast centers in their area are among America’s best, we are able to reduce their risk by helping them make smarter healthcare choices,” says Delia Passi, CEO and Founder of the Women’s Choice Award.
