Breast Cancer/Mammography : About

Our dedicated team of professionals will be the leaders in the timely diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer in a setting that emphasizes personal service, education and research. At Ochsner, we are committed to providing exceptional patient care by:

  • Providing rapidly accessible, high-quality breast care services including prevention, screening, diagnosis and treatment.
  • Minimizing patient anxiety through an efficient, coordinated approach from screening through diagnosis to treatment.
  • Offering educational resources and psychosocial support to patients diagnosed with breast cancer.
  • Monitoring and improving service quality through analysis of quality indicators.
  • Being a leader in educating other healthcare professionals in innovative and best practice technologies and research initiatives in the field of breast care.
  • Providing access to, and information on, alternative therapies that may support treatment.

None of these services, however, would be possible without Mrs. Lieselotte Tansey, a breast cancer survivor and Ochsner patient. Her generosity made the Breast Center a reality. It was Mrs. Tansey’s vision to create a pleasant environment where women can get a swift diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer.  Learn more about the Lieselotte Tansey Breast Center.
