Noble Hospital’s Center for Comprehensive Breast Health encompasses aspects of women’s health from mammograms and bone-density testing to lumpectomies and cancer treatments. The center features a complimentary-medicine therapy room offering massage, Reiki, and other alternative treatments for those going through cancer treatments and recovery.
In a new partnership with the YMCA of Greater Westfield, the center also offers a healthy-living and exercise program. In addition, Noble Hospital has a partnership with Hartford Hospital to treat early breast cancer quickly with a procedure called accelerated partial breast irradiation, which takes a period of five days instead of many weeks.
Money raised at the Falcons fund-raiser may help patients in any of these programs receive the treatment they need but may not be able to afford.
