Dorothy G. Hoefer Comprehensive Breast Center

The Dorothy G. Hoefer Comprehensive Breast Center is accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers. To gain the accreditation, the centers must follow a multidisciplinary team approach, provide access to clinical trial information and offer new treatment options, among other requirements.

The breast center is also among an elite group designated as an American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Center of Excellence. After rigorous evaluation of staff, equipment, physician credentials, technique and image quality, the centers are now fully accredited in the three major areas of breast imaging and cancer detection, mammography, stereotactic breast biopsy and ultrasound-guided biopsy.

All Sentara breast centers are also MQSA/FDA certified.
