Arizona Tribune - Desert Oasis Healthcare and RadNet Partner to Advance Early Breast Cancer Detection

PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA / ACCESS Newswire / October 17, 2025 / Desert Oasis Healthcare (DOHC) is proud to announce a partnership with RadNet, Inc. (locally known as Desert Advanced Imaging) to offer Enhanced Breast Cancer Detection (EBCD) and improve outcomes for women across the Coachella Valley. Effective immediately, DOHC will cover the full cost of advanced early breast cancer screening technology through its partnership with RadNet. Previously, this technology was available only by paying a $40 out-of-pocket fee (not covered by insurance). From now on, DOHC members will receive this advanced screening as a benefit at no additional cost.

This collaboration underscores both organizations' shared commitment to saving lives through innovation, access, and education. Through this partnership, DOHC and RadNet will leverage advanced imaging technology, data-driven diagnostics, and coordinated care to identify breast cancer at its earliest, most treatable stages. The initiative builds on a growing body of evidence that early detection dramatically increases survival rates and improves quality of life for patients.

"We know that early detection makes all the difference. By working together with Desert Advanced Imaging, we're giving our patients access to state-of-the-art imaging and compassionate care - helping us find cancer sooner and treat it more effectively."" said Dr. Marc Hoffing, Medical Director of Desert Oasis Healthcare.

RadNet, a national leader in providing high-quality, cost-effective outpatient diagnostic imaging services and radiology technology solutions, brings decades of expertise and innovation to the effort. "One in eight women will develop breast cancer in her lifetime, making it critical to detect the disease early, when treatment options are most optimal. The AI-powered EBCD program is able to detect breast cancer that otherwise would be found much later, thereby improving patient outcomes by reducing the amount of treatment and/or life impact through early detection," said Dr. Howard Berger, President and Chief Executive Officer of RadNet.

The Early Breast Cancer Detection program will include enhanced screening options, educational outreach, and a streamlined referral process to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment. Together, DOHC and RadNet aim to make early detection accessible for every woman-because when it comes to breast cancer, early matters most.
