In the early 1990’s the leaders of the Saint John’s Cancer Institute raised the idea of creating a center dedicated to the treatment and research of breast cancer. An extraordinary gift from Joyce Eisenberg Keefer, a dedicated champion for cancer research and treatment, allowed them to bring their vision to fruition and, in 1993, they opened the multidisciplinary breast center at Saint John’s Health Center. Unfortunately, the building that housed the breast center was damaged beyond repair in the 1994 Northridge earthquake. Once again a generous philanthropist, Margie Petersen, stepped in to provide the financial support necessary to rebuild the breast center.
