Word From the Director

Welcome to Mills Breast Cancer Institute!
It is our collective goal to redefine the approach, diagnosis, and treatment of breast cancer for patients by offering the highest quality of care and innovative strategies. We believe the key to fighting the disease successfully is gathering physicians and staff with researchers in all phases of research – basic science and technology, translational, and clinical – under one roof, focusing especially on technological innovation and the early detection of breast cancer.

At Mills Breast Cancer Institute, we have the vision and resources to change people’s lives. And we are proud to bring our services to the community and the region, and our innovative solutions to the world.
