McLeod Heath: Offering Women a Comprehensive Breast Cancer Program

Dedicated to the early detection and treatment of breast cancer, McLeod is the only Breast Health Center in the area accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a program administered by the American College of Surgeons. McLeod received this prestigious acknowledgement of the quality of care it offers to breast cancer patients in 2010 – the first and only breast program in the region to achieve this designation.

Annually, breast cancer is the most commonly treated cancer at McLeod Regional Medical Center. Because a tremendous volume of breast cancer patients are cared for at McLeod, the hospital, staff, and physicians have put considerable effort into ensuring state-of-the-art care for women with breast cancer and that the NAPBC standards are met or exceeded.

Breast Surgeon Dr. Amy Murrell serves as the Cancer Liaison Physician to the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer for McLeod Regional Medical Center as well as the Breast Program Director for McLeod.

She cares for patients at Pee Dee Surgical Group, where she has practiced since 2005.
