When it comes to breast care on the Northshore, the Women’s Pavilion at St. Tammany Health System towers far above all others, for its comprehensive approach, for the deep-seated compassion on which it was founded and for the unparalleled quality of care delivered day in and day out by our breast-fellowship-trained radiologists.
That’s because this isn’t just another doctor’s office. It’s a full-service, multi-disciplinary facility dedicated to all facets of breast care, from screening to diagnosis to treatment to survivorship – all delivered in a spa-like setting.
That includes the help of fellowship-trained radiologists on-site every day at the Women’s Pavilion; a nurse navigator at our adjacent Breast Disease and High Risk Clinic, who helps guide patients through their healthcare journey; as well as the expertise of breast surgeon Dr. Angela Buonagura and Nurse Practitioner Melissa Varnado, both of whom are dedicated to putting the “care” in our comprehensive breast care program.
