Recognizing the profound impact of breast disease amongst women, North York General Hospital created in 1997 the first diagnostic centre in Canada committed to providing most women with the answers they need, more quickly, and more compassionately than had traditionally been the case. Since then, the BMO Financial Group Breast Diagnostic Centre (BDC), has treated over 15,000 patients and provided them with quick access to a team of expert surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, geneticists, oncologists, psychiatrists, nutritionists and social workers who staff the Centre. In fact, the BDC has enabled North York General Hospital to become a centre of excellence for breast disease and to stay on the cutting edge of breast cancer diagnosis and treatment.
