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.

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.

"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."

Area of Greatest Need

Our AdventHealth Zephyrhills Foundation’s goal is simple: support programs and needs that serve Zephyrhills patients, guests, and team members.

By partnering with us to support our areas of greatest need, you have the opportunity to move health forward by funding patient care priorities. Your donations stay within our hospital and 100% goes to the area you designate.

Thanks to generous contributions from community members, our Foundation funds programs that shape the future of innovative, whole-person care. Some of these incredible initiatives include a robotic surgical system, child care van, wellness center improvements, leading-edge breast health technology, a community garden, and much more.

We hope you'll join us to experience how generosity heals.
