SSM St. Clare's breast center has seen mammography services increase 12 percent over the past two years. In addition, Dr. Pamela Bunting, breast surgeon, was brought on staff last year with Dr. Joshua Glaser to accommodate the needs and volume for treating patients with breast disease. Dr. Bunting also leads a new high-risk clinic, which opened last October.

Becky is a gentle,​ kind, caring nurse who does a tremendous job supporting the patients with breast cancer. She is there with a kind word or a loving hug when patients need it most," said Dr. Glaser. "The St Clare community is fortunate to have someone with so much experience and dedication as their advocate."
