Bringing joy and fun into the rehab process can be such a beneficial therapeutic tool to meet goals that truly matter to our patients...like making fried bologna sandwiches!

Robin Adams, 70, received an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis. With early detection, a clear treatment plan and a team that moved swiftly, she faced it head-on. From immediate consultations to a timely lumpectomy and chemotherapy, Robin's journey exemplifies the power of proactive care.

“It was so impressive to have the surgeon, the oncologist and the radiologist immediately conferring about my case. When I met with them, they all gave me their plan so I could see clearly what they were going to do,” said Adams. “They explained how everything would progress, so I really didn’t have any questions.”

The speed of her journey was not by accident. It was the result of Prisma Health’s clinical operating system, called the Pulse Program, which integrates quality, safety, experience, health disparities, value and population health improvement into one learning system.

“We understand that the diagnosis of cancer is frightening,” said Robin’s medical oncologist, Carla Jorgensen, MD. “It is more frightening when you are not aware of the stage and treatment plan. We strive to have patients seen quickly through our multidisciplinary clinic, which brings together all the specialties to confer on the most comprehensive plan.”

Remember, early detection saves lives. Regular screenings and a proactive approach can make all the difference.
