Kudos to the staff of the Mobile Medical Unit, including Mammography Tech Denise Hammerquist, for her excellent work not only as a technician, but also for delivering compassionate, personalized patient care.
In Fiscal Year 2009, the MMU provided 505 screening mammograms. In 2010, Denise and the MMU provided 993. What’s more, during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October 2010, Denise did 203 screening mammograms – double the number of mammograms from last October!
A patient recently offered this testimonial about Denise:
“I have walked out of mammogram after mammogram in tears. This woman was so wonderful. I could hardly tell she was giving me a mammogram, and then it was over. She was so great and she needs to be acknowledged for her care.”
Thank you Denise for increasing prevention and early detection of breast cancer to so many in our community. Thank you for being a wonderful representative of SJRMC!
