Saint Agnes Medical Center in Fresno opened its new outpatient imaging and breast centers with a ceremonial ribbon cutting for the full-service facility.

At 15,500 square feet, the facility is designed to bring state-of-the-art technology and comfort to patients and providers. Located on the campus of Saint Agnes, the breast center will provide patients with comfortable waiting areas, private dressing space and spacious exam rooms, according to a news release.

 

“As our community continues to grow, so does the need for advanced care services like imaging and breast care,” says Odette Bolano, president and CEO of Trinity Health West Region. “By making these services easily accessible in a distinct outpatient setting, Saint Agnes is demonstrating its unwavering commitment to patient-centered care by providing the latest technology coupled with compassionate care, with a design and focus on comfort, convenience and personalized care.”

The center will provide a full range of imaging services including bone density, CT, fluoroscopy, MRI, screening and diagnostic mammography, ultrasound and x-ray scans.

The facility is designed to maximize communication between teams of health care professionals with a goal of streamlining patient care — even for individuals requiring multiple exams.

Saint Agnes Breast Center will be relocated to inside the imaging center later this year. The move will provide patients with expert mammography and oncology services, as well as private dressing rooms and an exclusive waiting area serving coffee, tea and snacks, courtesy of Saint Agnes Women’s Club.

A blessing and ribbon cutting ceremony will take place Thursday at 11 a.m. at 1510 E. Herndon Ave., Ste. 110 in Fresno.
