State-of-the-art breast imaging in your community
The Carol Milgard Breast Center is a regional center for screening mammograms, diagnostic mammograms and breast imaging procedures. We have been designated a Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology (ACR) for offering patients the highest level of image quality and patient safety.
A unique mission
It is our mission to provide sustainable breast health services to all women in our community in a caring environment that fosters great care, confidence, comfort, peace, and dignity for each individual.
The center is named after Tacoma philanthropist and
30-year breast cancer survivor Carol Milgard and is designed to honor her spirit. The long-time Tacoma resident was described as a “ray of sunshine who offered enthusiasm and hope to everyone she met.” It is from this that we draw inspiration for our mission to offer care and hope to our community. The Carol Milgard Breast Center is a reality thanks to significant support from the Gary E. Milgard Family Foundation.
A collaborative health concept
A collaborative undertaking, the three largest providers of breast imaging services in Pierce County joined together to establish the Carol Milgard Breast Center. Owned by Franciscan Health System and MultiCare Health System, the center is staffed and managed by TRA Medical Imaging. With a singular focus of providing excellence in breast screening and diagnosis in a comfortable and spa-like setting, the center is a new concept in health care and a unique collaboration.
