       Breast cancer
       doesn’t wait.
       Neither does our care.
       A breast cancer diagnosis can be life changing. And it typically comes with a lot of questions:
       What’s my prognosis? Will I need surgery? How will this affect my family?

       At Hendricks Regional Health Breast Center, we give you answers — not in a few weeks or days —
       but right away. Our promise is that if you’re diagnosed with breast cancer, you’ll be seen within 24 hours
       by a breast surgical oncologist. We’ll talk you through your diagnosis, your options and connect you
       with all the resources you need to help you get well again.

       We’re standing up to cancer — together. Request your yearly mammogram at
       Hendricks.org/Mammogram or call (317) 745-3404.
