We hope our new mural at the Valley Health Breast Center provides a welcoming and inviting environment for our patients and their families. The project is made possible by Valley Health Foundations generous donations from our community, and the hard work and talent of local artist Sarah Gallahan.

A newly painted mural at the Valley Health Breast Center will hopefully lift the spirits of patients and their family members, while providing them comfort on their breast cancer journey.
