Male breast cancer is uncommon, but no less serious. It makes up only about 1% of all breast cancer cases in the U.S., yet early detection is just as critical. Robert was in his 30s when he found a lump in his chest. He acted quickly and received the care and support he needed from Dr. Amy Skorupa and the cancer care team at Riverside Cancer Specialists of Tidewater and Infusion Center. Now, Robert is using his voice to raise awareness and encourage other men to recognize the signs, take action, and prioritize their health. We’re proud to stand beside survivors like Robert who turn their personal journeys into powerful messages of hope and advocacy. 🎥 Watch Robert’s full story on YouTube: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/eqQ47zwM Learn more by visiting: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/e3v97ru3 #RiversideHealth #MaleBreastCancerAwareness #EarlyDetectionSavesLives #MensHealthMatters #CancerSupport #PatientVoices #CompassionateCare

To improve access to lifesaving care in Eastern Virginia, Riverside Health and UVA Health are expanding their strategic alliance to include liver transplant services. This continued collaboration represents a shared commitment to keeping essential, advanced medical care close to home for the Hampton Roads community. “For decades, our hepatology team at Riverside has been a trusted resource for specialized liver care in the community—from managing hepatitis and fatty‐liver disease to cirrhosis and complex diagnostics,” said Michael Ney, M.D., fellowship-trained gastroenterologist and hepatology specialist with Riverside Gastroenterology Specialists. “Our new partnership with UVA Health strengthens that continuum: most patients will continue receiving comprehensive hepatology services right here at Riverside, while those who ultimately need a liver transplant will gain streamlined access to UVA’s nationally recognized transplant program. Together, we’re ensuring every patient gets the right level of care, when and where they need it.”
