The New Canaanite 2024 Summer Internship Program is sponsored by Karp Associates. A new location for breast imaging opened in town last month.
Connecticut Breast Imaging – which has several locations across the state – has expanded into New Canaan with a new location on Vitti Street.
The new imaging center opened on June 2 and one week later, held an open house fundraiser for a nonprofit organization that seeks to improve survival rates and quality of life for those impacted by breast cancer through better prevention, early detection, treatment and cure. “Our June 9 Open House Fundraiser was a huge success,” said Shawn Barto, administrative manager of Breast Imaging Services. “We were able to donate $2,500 to the Breast Cancer Alliance.”
The new center provides services such as mammography, breast ultrasound and breast biopsies.
“We also offer same day appointments as well as same day reads by our highly regarded breast imagers,” Barto said.
The center is “a great addition to our town,” Executive Director of the New Canaan Chamber of Commerce, Laura Budd said.
“We were very lucky that the ownership group decided to expand into New Canaan,” she said. Before the new center opened, many residents were forced to travel far distances for checkups, officials say.
