Dr. Lori Goldstein from Fox Chase Cancer Center on the Fox Chase Breast Evaluation Center
Lori J. Goldstein, MD, founded the Naomi and Phil Lippincott Breast Evaluation Center (BEC) at Fox Chase Cancer Center over 20 years ago. This multidisciplinary center not only meets the physical demands of cancer patients but also meets their psychosocial needs.
The center employs both social workers and educators that provide education about both the resources available and vocabulary. Not only does the center address the needs of the patients but also the needs of the whole family.
BEC addresses the psychosocial needs of breast cancer patients in multiple ways, it has several clinical psychiatrists on staff, special programs for women with young families, and past patients have donated several items they found useful.
