This integrated approach is enhanced by dedicated support staff, including a breast surgery PA, nurse navigator, surgery coordinators, social workers, nutritionists, integrative medicine specialists, and certified genetic counselors.

Our commitment to advancing breast cancer care extends through an innovative clinical trials program and the newly established Ginny Clements Breast Cancer Research Institute. As academic physicians, the team actively shapes the future of medicine by mentoring University of Arizona medical students and general surgery residents through hands-on clinical instruction and educational leadership.

Arizona's only independently accredited NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, our program holds ACS Commission on Cancer accreditation and the Breast Imaging Center of Excellence designation. We are also a U.S. News & World Report top-ranked hospital with Magnet designation for outstanding nursing care.
