5/15/12
The National Consortium of Breast Centers (NCBC) is proud to announce Dorothy Guild from St. Mary’s Breast Health Program has received the designation of Certified Breast Patient Navigator in Imaging and Cancer (CBPN-IC). This certification program validates Dorothy’s knowledge and skills in navigating a breast patient through their breast care/cancer continuum of care. Dorothy Guild’s choice to participate in this certification program shows her personal and professional commitment to providing quality care for her patients. The support of St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center toward the continuing education and training of its staff exhibits St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center’s unwavering commitment to providing excellence in the care of its patients.
Moving a patient through her continuum of breast care or breast cancer care is a complex and highly individualized process. The complexity is significantly reduced with the assistance of a trained navigator. As a certified navigator, Dorothy guides a patient through the breast imaging and breast cancer stages with assistance from her facility’s integrated team members. She ensures her patient receives timely exam results and is scheduled for appropriate follow-up care or the next routine imaging exam.
The National Consortium of Breast Centers promotes excellence in breast health care through a network of diverse professionals. It facilitates collaborative research opportunities on issues of breast health and has developed a set of core measures to define, improve, and sustain quality standards in breast health care programs and for quality performance in all types of breast health care facilities.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
4/04/12
Members of Saint Dominic Academy’s boys and girls hockey teams recently put up a spirited fight against breast cancer and in the process raised $1,500 during “pink in the Rink” night. One of the most popular series of contests in the year is when St. Dom’s plays against Lewiston High School. It was this event that became the platform for the student’s statements and fund raising. During the evening nearly 115 players showed their support for the cause by wearing pink jerseys and/or laces and used pink tape on their sticks. Proceeds raised during the evening benefited St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center’s Breast Health Program.
