BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Oct. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ --Â Bedford Breast Center, California's leading destination for comprehensive breast care, announces a series of October initiatives in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, alongside clinical advancements and leadership updates that reinforce its position at the forefront of modern breast health.
Founded by renowned plastic & reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Lisa Cassileth and breast surgeons Dr. Heather Richardson and Dr. Leslie Memsic, Bedford Breast Center is widely recognized for its pioneering contributions to breast surgery and commitment to delivering concierge-level care in a modern, luxury setting. Bedford Breast Center is the only facility in California to offer both Vera Scan Breast CT and Contrast-Enhanced Mammography (CEM), two of the most advanced screening modalities available. These technologies allow for earlier, more precise detection, redefining diagnostic breast imaging.
A New Chapter in Radiology
Bedford Breast Center proudly names Dr. Lakshmi Tegulapalle as Head of Radiology. A board-certified expert in breast imaging, Dr. Tegulapalle brings a patient-first philosophy and deep diagnostic expertise to Bedford's radiology department.
"Dr. Tegulapalle's leadership marks a new era in precision imaging," shares Dr. Cassileth. "Her clinical rigor and warmth reflect everything Bedford Breast Center stands for."
A Partnership with Purpose: Supporting The Breasties
As part of its philanthropic commitment this October, Bedford Breast Center is proud to partner with The Breasties, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting individuals affected by breast and gynecologic cancers. In alignment with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Bedford will donate 10% of revenue from screening mammograms throughout October to The Breasties, helping fund community programs, retreats, and advocacy efforts that empower survivors, previvors, stage 4 thrivers, and caregivers nationwide. This partnership reflects Bedford's belief that breast care extends beyond the clinic, it's about connection, compassion, and collective impact.
