North Fulton's Breast Center Gets Quality Rating

Hospital's breast care department named Center of Excellence.

North Fulton Hospital's breast care center has joined an elite group.

It's become one of less-than-50 breast centers in the country to be certified as a Quality Breast Center of Excellence.

One of the standards studied during the certification process is turnaround time.

“If a patient has an abnormal mammogram we get them back in the office within days and work diligently to get test results quickly so they don’t suffer from unnecessary anxiety," said Dr. Laura Rivers Pearson, Medical Director of North Fulton's Breast Center, in a press release. "We also work to avoid unnecessary surgeries so that our patients receive the least invasive treatment possible and are back to their full lives more quickly.”
