Heroes come in many forms. Although I no longer live in Federal Way, I would like to make sure everyone is aware of a local hero.

Dr. Mike Ulissey of the Breast Diagnostic Center in Federal Way uses groundbreaking technology for mammograms, by using 3-D equipment.

This enables him to spot cancer long before it shows up on a regular mammogram. Thanks to his technology, my situation was discovered very early. Instead of a long cancer journey, mine was a walk in the park. Very few mammogram sites have this technology.

You are fortunate to have it in your community along with a kind, caring, compassionate doctor to journey with you. If you haven’t had a mammogram in the last year, do it today with Dr. Mike Ulissey.

You won’t regret it.
