Your Journey, Our Promise

As the first community health system in Virginia to offer 3D breast biopsies, our goal is to provide lifelong care for our patients, whether that means normal yearly mammograms or long-term cancer treatment. From certified mammogram technologists to board-certified breast surgeons, a fellowship-trained breast imaging radiologist, and nurse navigators specializing in radiology and breast cancer patient care, our staff provides individualized, exceptional support for patients.

Mammograms Save Lives

Each year, thousands of lives are saved by one diagnostic test — the mammogram. It’s the only medical diagnostic technology proven to decrease mortality. The five-year survival rate for early-stage breast cancer, which is normally detected through screening, is close to 100 percent. Chesapeake Regional offers mammograms at multiple locations including: Chesapeake, Suffolk, Elizabeth City and Virginia - plus on our Mobile Mammography Unit.

All-inclusive Care

Comprehensive

Breast centers like ours offer comprehensive, all-inclusive care and are able to deliver quicker on-site care for those with abnormal mammogram findings. We can also provide patients with the resources and guidance of several specialists, including radiologists, oncologists and surgeons, all focused on providing patients with personalized care. If treatment is needed for cancer care, patients remain with the same providers throughout the process.

Advanced Technology

Having all of the latest technology, such as all-digital and 3D mammography, breast ultrasound, 3D breast biopsy, breast MRI, and MRI-guided and ultrasound-guided biopsies on site, allows our patients to have more options for their diagnosis and treatment.

Education & Events

Chesapeake Regional Healthcare sponsors a breast cancer support group open to newly diagnosed women as well as survivors. At the Breast Friends meetings, women comfort, encourage and honor their courageous journey to fight cancer. They share concerns and exchange information while health care professionals speak on topics of interest. The group is facilitated by a breast cancer survivor and an oncology nurse. Meetings are held on the ﬁrst Thursday of each month, except July, from 5:30-7 p.m. at the Lifestyle Health & Fitness Center. Call 757-312-3021 to learn more.

We also offer quarterly Totally Pink for Life exercise classes:
