Welcome to Breast Health Month at Sonoma Valley Hospital!

October 16, 2023

October is a dedicated time to celebrate and prioritize the well-being of women in our community and beyond. At SVH, we take immense pride in being a community institution where patient care and compassion stand as our guiding principles. As the CEO, it is both my privilege and honor to lead this close-knit team of dedicated professionals who are unwavering in their commitment to providing top-quality healthcare to our community.

Dr. Alexis, a valued member of our team at SVH, has emphasized our individualized approach. We are a team who genuinely cares about our patients. This Breast Health Month, we are thrilled to share with you valuable insights, expert perspectives, and heartfelt stories that reflect our unwavering dedication to breast health.

Throughout this month, we will delve into crucial topics, showcase the exceptional care provided by our team, and emphasize the strength that emanates from our close-knit community ties. Together, we will champion the cause of breast health, celebrating the resilience and well-being of our community and beyond.

We also want to take a moment to highlight how our affiliation with UCSF Health enhances our ability to support breast health. This partnership provides us with access to the latest technology and treatment options, allowing us to offer cutting-edge diagnostic services close to home. Services such as 3D mammography, ultrasound, X-rays, DEXA (bone density) scans, and CT scans are now readily available to women throughout the North Bay. In January we’ll introduce a 3 tesla MRI, something unique in a community hospital. This means better and more convenient healthcare for our community, and it’s a significant step forward in our commitment to women’s health.

Thank you for joining us on this journey of empowerment and awareness. I eagerly anticipate a month filled with meaningful conversations and the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of women in our community.

Warm regards,

John Hennelly
CEO, Sonoma Valley Hospital
