Breast Disease and High-Risk clinic

At St. Tammany Health System, we prioritize not just treating cancer but guiding patients through survivorship. Central to that is a philosophy that everyone’s cancer journey is different, which is why we advocate a personalized approach through collaborative management of early detection and cancer care. This collaboration extends to coordinating high-risk patient care with the St. Tammany Cancer Center — A Campus of Ochsner Medical Center, particularly for patients at high risk for breast and other cancers.
