"By letting women know which breast centers in their area are among America’s best, we are able to reduce risk by helping them make better decisions and smarter health care choices." -- Delia Passi, founder and CEO of the Women’s Choice Award
Using clinical performance, patient satisfaction, accreditations and other stringent criteria, the Women’s Choice Award selects the best Hospitals & healthcare facilities across America to help women make informed healthcare choices. Delia Passi, founder and CEO of the Women’s Choice Award and a breast cancer survivor, said "I learned the hard way that where you choose to have your mammogram can have a profound impact on your outcome and experience. By letting women know which breast centers in their area are among America’s best, we are able to reduce risk by helping them make better decisions and smarter health care choices.”
