Gala Raises $750K For New Breast Health Center At Marin General Hospital

MARIN COUNTY, CA – News from Marin General Hospital Foundation:

Marin General Hospital Foundation’s annual black-tie gala, New York, New York, was held in Corte Madera on May 6 raising $750,000 for Marin’s new Breast Health Center. The sold-out celebration drew more than 600 attendees in support of this year’s beneficiary, slated for a spring 2017 opening.

“We are thrilled with the overwhelming success and support of our gala and its recipient, our new Breast Health Center,” said 2017 gala committee chairs Karen Pell and Heather Lupa. “To be able to offer the residents of Marin an industry-leading facility with state-of-the-art services is truly one of the cornerstones of the Foundation’s mission.”

The center will usher in a new era of personalized treatment and services for the women of Marin with the opening of the new Breast Health Center at Drake’s Landing. The comprehensive breast health program encompasses breast wellness, as well as diagnostics, treatment, reconstruction, and breast cancer survivorship.

Specifically designed for every woman’s comfort and convenience, the Breast Health Center will be equipped with the most advanced medical technologies available, including 3D digital mammography—Marin Healthcare District is the first and only healthcare provider in Marin to offer this breakthrough imaging technique which is widely considered the most accurate form of mammography available—and a state-of-the-art bone density room.

With the launch of this new, ultra-modern facility, Marin Healthcare District looks forward to taking its nationally recognized program to an even higher level.

The Breast Health Center will be located at 100A Drakes Landing, Suite 140, Greenbrae, CA, 94904 and can be reached at 1-415-461-4282.
