Deann M Deann’s Story – The Breast Center

Thank you to everyone at the Breast Center for making me feel safe and at ease.

“I have been a patient of Saint Barnabas' Breast Center since being diagnosed with breast cancer three years ago. In April, I had to go for an ultrasound at the height of the pandemic. I was nervous enough about the test, but going to the hospital during the pandemic really amped up my anxiety. However, I had nothing to worry about. From the moment I set foot in the hospital door, I immediately had my temperature taken. Everyone I encountered had on masks and gloves. They even sanitized my insurance card before handing it back to me. I was the only one in the waiting room as appointments were being spaced out to minimize contact, and the chairs were all socially distanced at 6 feet apart. They even installed plexiglass. Once I went back to the testing area, the nurse walked me through not only the test, but all of the new procedures and precautions they were taking to minimize the COVID-19 risk. This really reassured me. Saint Barnabas' Breast Center has always put my health and well-being first and the extra precautions they are taking during the pandemic only reinforce this. Thank you to everyone at the Breast Center for making me feel safe and at ease.”
