MD Anderson and Memorial Hermann to partner for breast screening network

Starting in late November, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center will become the exclusive provider of professional breast radiology services for five breast care centers in the Memorial Hermann Health System, according to an announcement from the two organizations.

The new partnership was announced following approval by the University of Texas Board of Regents at its meeting on Aug. 21.

The five centers initially included in the breast screening network are located in Memorial City, The Woodlands, Northeast, Southwest and Sugar Land, with plans to expand to other Memorial Hermann locations in the future. Under the agreement, MD Anderson radiologists will offer interpretations and perform biopsies while utilizing existing Memorial Hermann facilities and technical resources.
