Condition: Breast Cancer

On Dec. 19, 2019, Jennifer Hanna, M.D., Clinical assistant professor in the Division of General Internal Medicine and Hospitalist with UAB Hospital Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, was diagnosed with breast cancer after a biopsy for abnormal calcifications.  

As the coordinator and co-founder of what is now the University of Alabama at Birmingham Breast Health Center, Madeline Harris counseled and empathized with countless cancer patients over the years. She never imagined that her daughter, Kristen Noles, would someday be one of them.
