The Hoffman Breast Center at Mount Auburn Hospital is named in honor of the Hoffman Family and novelist Alice Hoffman, whose vision, enthusiasm, and generosity made it a reality.
The annual Pink Pages event, which supports the Hoffman Breast Center and is hosted at the American Repertory Theater, has raised more than $3 million to help provide additional resources and support for patients.
In 2024, Pink Pages featured Alice Hoffman along with personal stories and readings from the following authors: Allegra Goodman, Lois Lowry, Hilarie Burton Morgan, Tom Perrotta, Imani Perry, and Hank Phillippi Ryan. Emmy award-winning arts and entertainment critic Joyce Kulhawik emceed the event.
The Hoffman Breast Center offers patients the latest resources and the most advanced technologies in breast care including mammography imaging, breast ultrasound, ultrasound breast biopsies, stereotactic biopsies, and breast MRIs.
Patients and their families receive direction to appropriate resources, instruction in breast self-exam, guidance to the most effective courses of treatment, and support at each step of recovery.
