AdventHealth Zephyrhills Foundation

Simpson Breast Health Center

A diagnosis of cancer can be difficult and all-consuming — but at the Simpson Breast Health Center at AdventHealth Zephyrhills, we don’t just see a disease. We see vibrant people. Full lives. Incredible determination.

The Simpson Breast Health Center is a center of care dedicated exclusively to breast health.

Led by our skilled physicians, we provide some of Florida’s most advanced detection tools to support a full spectrum of care — from diagnosis to treatment, surgery to rehabilitation, and ongoing patient education and recovery.

"When Dr. Rippe found my stage 1 tumor, he became my hero. And he's still my hero today. The Simpson Breast Health Center is a place my family trusts. It's been an honor to help bring state-of-the-art technology to the center, so our family, friends and neighbors seeking care can feel safe and loved during difficult times."

Thanks to the generosity of people like you, we can continue to fund state-of-the art technology and provide heartfelt support to brave women and men facing breast cancer.
