What will the 2012 Dragon Boat Festival support?

Thanks to the more than $2 million generated by the Dragon Boat Festival and Survivors Abreast, PRHC is home to a state-of-the-art Breast Assessment Centre where women who need routine breast exams no longer wait three months.  For routine mammography there is no longer a wait period. For workups the average wait time is 10 days, and for stereotactic biopsies it is 2.5 weeks.

Proceeds of the 2012 Dragon Boat Festival will support the purchase of a new ultrasound machine for PRHC’s Breast Assessment Centre. This equipment willbe used to provide high definition images of breast tissue for cancer diagnosis as well as provide an enhanced ability to view and localize lesions when performing biopsies. Radiologists will also use these images to assist in planning future life-saving treatment.

On behalf of PRHC’s patients and their families, our physicians and our staff, thank you for your commitment to caring for patients battling this terrifying disease with the latest technology, close to the love and support of their family and friends.
