The new Suzanne H. Arnold Center for Breast Health at the Lancaster General Health Campus opened to patients this morning, reports the Intelligencer Journal.

The center was made possible by Suzanne H. Arnold, whose financial gift made possible the 20,000-square-foot, $3 million center in Building 2104 at the Harrisburg Pike campus.

Reports the Intelligencer Journal; “The center is the new place for diagnostic procedures previously performed at Breast Care Center at Women & Babies Hospital, just across the campus. The new center is larger, designed for better flow and features new and upgraded technology.

With areas for screening and treatment, its equipment includes three digital mammography units, two ultrasound units and a stereotactic biopsy unit that can extract tiny tissue samples so, for many patients, there’s no need for surgery.”
