Baton Rouge General (BRG) has opened a high-risk breast clinic at its Mid City campus, providing specialized care to women at risk for developing breast disease and who are underinsured or uninsured.
The clinic is led by Everett Bonner, MD, surgical breast oncologist. Bonner holds a fellowship in surgical breast oncology from Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York. He graduated from LSU School of Medicine and completed a surgery residency at Mercer University School of Medicine in Savannah, Ga.
“While hospitals focus on another COVID surge, we have to press on for patients with other diseases, like cancer, as we help them fight for their health in a healthcare world that’s short on staff and resources,” said Bonner. “By opening this clinic, we’re helping break down barriers to care and ensure that all patients with breast cancer or at high risk for the disease have access the same high-quality care and expertise.”
The clinic is located within the Family Health Center at BRG’s Mid City campus, at 3401 North Blvd., Suite 200.
