"Just as philanthropy created the first health system over 200 years ago, philanthropy drives our excellence in care here at Novant Health. Philanthropy is the 'love of humankind'. For that, we are grateful."
– Ann Caulkins
Senior Vice President of Novant Health, President of Novant Health Foundation
Construction is underway on a new stand-alone and comprehensive breast health center at Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center, with the goal of ensuring patients in and around Charlotte have equitable access to breast health services.
The center will have the latest in technology designed to detect cancer at its earliest and most treatable stages as well as a more convenient drop-off and pickup area.
The center is named after Agnes Binder Weisiger, who was born in 1941 and started her first job at Presbyterian Medical Center as a candy striper and went on to serve as a family nurse practitioner for nearly 30 years. Weisiger survived her own battle with breast cancer at the Presbyterian Medical Center in 2011.
