Janet Lome’s Story

After being diagnosed four separate times, Janet Lome’s decades-long battle with recurrent breast cancer highlights the need for both exceptional medical expertise and deep-seated compassion. At Riverview Health, Janet has found a complete spectrum of care, from early detection to complex surgical and supportive treatment.

Janet’s experience with Dr. Heiser, a skilled general surgeon at Riverview Health, demonstrates how personalized commitment to patient care goes beyond the operating room: “After surgeries, Dr. Heiser would call me just to see how I was. If I had a port put in, or when I had my mastectomy, I knew he would always call. He is a skilled surgeon with phenomenal bedside manner.” This combination of clinical excellence and heartfelt care defines the Riverview Health experience: “Compassionate Care. For Life.”

For Janet, the most profound outcome of her care is simple yet powerful: “I’m alive.” Her experience also underscores the critical role of preventative medicine: “Getting a mammogram saves our lives.”
