2024 Spring Appeal

Spring is known as the season of hope. That has never truer than this year, when we continued to improve patient care and invest in our collective future. With your help, we kept Yarmouth Regional Hospital at the forefront of modern technology.

After a successful spring appeal, the Yarmouth Hospital Foundation was proud bring new medical technology to the Yarmouth Regional Hospital. Our purchase of a MOLLI® system will help our excellent caregivers fight breast cancer better than ever before.

2024 Spring appealThe MOLLI® system is an innovative technology that allows radiologists to mark cancerous lesions with a MOLLI® marker, a tiny magnetic tissue marker roughly the size of a sesame seed. The localization procedure takes about five minutes and can happen within 30 days prior to the surgery.

In the OR, surgeons use the MOLLI® wand to pick up the magnetic signal from the marker, which sends images and sounds to the MOLLI® tablet. This guides the surgeon to the exact location of the lesion. Using the MOLLI® system, surgeons remove lesions more efficiently and with increased patient comfort.

The MOLLI® system has enabled our healthcare team to enhance the overall patient experience with state-of-the-art-care,” says radiologist Dr. Beth Furey.
