Maury Regional Health (MRH) hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony with Maury Alliance Wednesday, June 18 to celebrate the opening of the new Maury Regional Breast Center located on the second floor of the medical center’s Outpatient Pavilion.
Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and set in a spacious, modern environment, the Breast Center is thoughtfully designed with patient comfort and convenience in mind. The center offers exceptional care in a welcoming space where women in southern Middle Tennessee can receive 3D mammograms, breast ultrasounds, biopsies, and more. Formerly known as the Women’s Center, the Breast Center is now located just one floor above its original location in the Outpatient Pavilion.
“Prioritizing breast health is a key part of preventive care, often leading to the identification of issues such as breast cancer, which can save lives,” said CEO Martin Chaney, MD. “The new Maury Regional Breast Center strengthens the exceptional care our team members provide this community. This new space will allow us to grow while continuing to focus on providing compassionate, quality care to those we serve.”
In May 2024 — just more than one year ago — Maury Regional Health held a groundbreaking ceremony to launch construction on the new 34,000-square-foot expansion of the Outpatient Pavilion, which includes the new Breast Center. Upon completion of the project, the Outpatient Pavilion will also house the new Orthopedic Surgical Institute and include additional space for future growth.
Throughout the design and construction process of the new Breast Center, the team strived to incorporate elements that brought comfort to patients — from murals of scenic outdoor settings in the mammography exam rooms to artwork throughout the space that Breast Center team members helped to select. The facility includes the same advanced imaging technology that it has always offered but in an enhanced and expansive area to support the growing southern Middle Tennessee region.
“Mammography saves lives,” said Breast Center Medical Director Blair Butler, MD, a board-certified specialist in radiology. “The Breast Center provides our team with a thoughtfully designed space that supports their commitment to delivering high quality mammography and breast care services. Having a more comfortable and private environment allows our staff to focus even more on the needs of each patient and provide the care they deserve.”
Maury Regional Health’s multidisciplinary breast health team includes radiologists, imaging specialists, pathologists, breast and reconstructive surgeons, oncologists and breast health navigators. The Maury Regional Breast Center is accredited as a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology and National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers recognition by the American College of Surgeons.
Maury Regional Health recommends that all women ages 40 and older receive a mammogram annually. In addition to the Maury Regional Breast Center, mammography is available at Lewis Health Center in Hohenwald, Marshall Medical Center in Lewisburg, Wayne Medical Center in Waynesboro and Spring Hill Imaging Center in Spring Hill.
