Verde Valley Medical Center (VVMC) recently resumed breast imaging services after a monthlong pause caused by a provider shortage. After a temporary period of "limited breast imaging services" that began June 28, VVMC’s breast clinic resumed offering services July 24, and NAR has since hired a new breast fellowship-certified radiologist. Breast fellowship-trained radiologistsNAR first hired breast fellowship-trained radiologists in response to the discovery of missed cancers in screenings read by NAR through 2018. “Ultimately, what this entire thing created was a tense relationship between the radiology group and the breast radiologists,” she said. NAH's June 28 announcement of that interruption noted that this was not the first pause of breast imaging services at VVMC.
