In 2013, Methodist Richardson Medical Center introduced
these new programs to help win the fight against cancer:
High-Risk Breast Surveillance Clinic
Women with higher-than-average risk for breast cancer
can receive specialized monitoring and consultations with
a fellowship-trained breast surgeon to help them make
decisions regarding their breast health.
Lung cancer screening program
Because screening people at high risk for lung cancer
with an annual low-dose CT scan of the chest can save
lives, Methodist Richardson started offering these tests at
a discounted price to make the early detection of cancer
more accessible.
Pillars4Life and Artist-in-Residence
A 2012 Livestrong® Community Impact Project Award helped
Methodist Richardson offer these two programs. Pillars4Life
is an online training course that teaches cancer patients how
to relieve fear and confusion, gain a sense of control, and
cultivate inner peace. The Artist-in-Residence program helps
them channel anxiety and stress about their diagnosis into
creative art projects while undergoing treatment.
New location for digital mammography
The Center for Women’s Health expanded to Methodist
Richardson’s campus at George Bush Turnpike and
Renner Road this year, making digital mammography
available at two convenient locations.
