Breast Health

We are pleased to announce that UMass Memorial Health has begun to operate a breast health practice at Milford Regional Medical Center. The addition of this UMass surgical practice allows for the continuation of comprehensive breast health services right here in Milford. 

The breast health practice is currently located on the fourth floor of Milford Regional’s Hill Health Center.

Milford Regional provides mammography and other breast imaging, so individuals can receive all breast health needs, locally.
