Cleveland Clinic Weston Hospital recently announced the opening of the newly constructed 631.74-square-foot Lozick Women's Center, designed to provide a seamless and holistic experience for patients undergoing breast cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment.

Funded with philanthropic support, patients at the Lozick Women's Center will be cared for by a multidisciplinary team of experts including breast surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, breast radiologists, plastic surgeons, breast pathologists, physician assistants, nurses and a certified patient navigator.

Diagnostic services at the Lozick Women's Center will include breast imaging services, state-of-the-art 3D mammography, pelvic ultrasound, breast biopsy and bone density services.

Patients will also have access to support services to help them navigate the changes and challenges associated with breast cancer. Complimentary medicine services such as massage therapy, reiki, yoga, nutritional education and art therapy are available to address the "whole person" through comprehensive treatment.

In addition, comprehensive psychotherapy services are available to promote the deepest level of healing possible and include traditional psychotherapy, and non-traditional therapies such as heart-centered meditation and guided imagery.

Genetic counseling is also available for cancer risk assessment and treatment planning, with the goal of targeting the right tumors with the right therapies.

"The Lozick Women's Center offers women's health services in a comfortable and healing environment", said Rodolfo J. Blandon, president of Cleveland Clinic Weston Hospital.
