Malaka’s life took an unexpected turn the year she turned 40. She found a lump in her breast, but she thought it was a cyst that would go away on its own. Her doctor requested a mammogram, but she was busy with work and family. Then a scheduler called and encouraged her to come in. That caring call – and her compassionate care team – helped save her life.
Now a breast cancer survivor, Malaka says she’s forever grateful for the team’s persistence and exceptional care!
