My husband sees doctors at a different clinic and had wanted me to switch to his clinic for a while now. When I had my last mammogram here at the Marshfield Medical Center, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Because of the holidays and a fast decision, I scheduled the biopsy at the Marshfield Clinic in Eau Claire and was able to speak to their Breast Cancer Nurse Navigator that day. She informed me that Rita Correll would be in touch with me the next day. This is why I'm writing to you to explain why I am choosing to say at Marshfield Medical Center instead of switching to another facility.
Rita was my strength, she increased my understanding of what I was facing, gave me a better idea of my choices, boosted my ability to move forward, calmed my fears in how many surgeries the doctor has done like mine. She was positive reinforcement and a fountain of needed information. My husband was also impressed with how Rita sat in on appointments so we could as questions about what was said or to help us ask questions to doctors. Rita was just a godsend to us and would be for any woman or man.
I don't think a lot of women know of this service you offer and it was one of the biggest reasons I chose to stay at Marshfield Medical Center - Rice Lake.
I belong to women's groups in the area and many women had no idea that Rita's services were available. This service has a huge impact on women affected by cancer.
Thank you for Rita, the doctors, and the staff at Marshfield Medical Center - Rice Lake.
