RIH Foundation gets $1-million boost for breast health clinic
KAMLOOPS — It’s the most common cancer found in women over the age of the 20. 1 in 9 Canadian women are expected to develop breast cancer during their lifetime.
In the Thompson-Nicola Region, close to 140 women are diagnosed every year, a devastating diagnosis requiring multiple appointments spread over many weeks or even months.
But now, Royal Inland Hospital is closer to dramatically reducing wait times and improving patient care, with a new breast health centre.
The Rapid Access Breast Health Clinic will centralize care, and make the process more efficient for women facing breast health concerns.
