**** THANK YOU ****
Thank you to Dr. Diane Anderson, our lead sponsor for the Breast Cancer Fund’s October 2022 fundraiser!
Dr. Anderson believes that getting a mammogram is the first important step for breast health and to fight breast cancer. “When it’s detected early, breast cancer can be successfully treated and lives can be saved,” says radiologist Diane Anderson, DO.
As a radiologist and medical director of mammography at Upper Valley Medical Center, she urges women, “Despite your busy life, it’s essential for you to make your own good health a priority.”
With over 32 years of experience in the medical field, Dr. Anderson specializes in Breast Imaging, Mammography, Ultrasound, Breast MRI, Breast Biopsies. She graduated from West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her residency at Cleveland Clinic.
We thank Dr. Anderson for her contribution and dedication to the prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer!
