The Robert A. Gardner, MD Foundation, Inc. is a not-for-profit 501(c) (3) corporation as described in Section 509(a) (2) of the Internal Revenue Service code as providing for tax deductible contributions. The Foundation was established in 1988 by Dr. Gardner to conduct clinical research, facilitate new treatments and increase the early detection and diagnosis of breast cancer through public awareness campaigns. Dr. Gardner devotes considerable time to researching emerging technologies and procedures in pursuit of promising new protocols to increase patient satisfaction and reduce overall costs.
An affiliated company to the Foundation is the Center For Breast Surgery., a private medical practice dedicated to state-of-the-art detection of breast cancer at the earliest possible stage and its eradication through the most appropriate, technologically advanced, minimum treatment necessary.
and research for prevention and cure of breast cancer.
We believe awareness is the first step toward the early detection and possible cure of breast cancer. That is why education and outreach into the community is our main thrust. We encourage women to practice early detection methods, including regularly scheduled mammography, yearly physical exams by a trained medical professional and diligent monthly breast self-examinations.
Because of the ever-changing medical environment, we work to keep women informed of the latest technology of early detection and treatment of breast disease, and to make women aware of the latest findings and statistics relating to breast cancer risk factors, diagnosis, treatment, and cure.
