Millstone Township Resident Named Director Of
Wilentz Breast Center At Monmouth Medical Center.

LONG BRANCH, NJ, June 20, 2005 — Roberta Angermiller has been appointed director of the Jacqueline M. Wilentz Comprehensive Breast Center at Monmouth Medical Center, holding managerial and operational responsibility over its full range of clinical services.

With more than 25 years of health care experience, Angermiller brings to Monmouth a varied background in health care administration, serving as vice president of administrative services for East Orange General Hospital.

Prior to that, she held administrative positions with Hunterdon Medical Center, Flemington, where she was director of risk management and quality management, and John F. Kennedy Medical Center in Edison, where she served as assistant vice president of quality management.

The Millstone Township resident holds a bachelor’s degree in health care administration from St. Joseph’s College of Maine in Standish, and a master’s degree in administrative sciences from Fairleigh Dickinson University, Teaneck. A certified health information manager, Angermiller started her career working as associate director of the New Jersey Utilization Program at the Princeton-based New Jersey Hospital Association and director of medical records at St. Francis Medical Center, Trenton. She also has held officer positions for the New Jersey Health Information Management Association in Princeton, including president, vice president and delegate, and she was honored with its Distinguished Member Award.

Since opening in 1994, the Jacqueline M. Wilentz Comprehensive Breast Center of the Leon Hess Cancer Center at Monmouth Medical Center has remained one of the leading and most-comprehensive facilities of its kind in New Jersey, offering all women a full spectrum of breast health services — for both well care and cancer care.

Most recently, the Wilentz center extended its unblemished record for meeting the nation’s top standards for mammography quality and performance by passing the annual Food and Drug Administration inspection for being in total compliance with stringent federal mammography requirements — an achievement it has earned for 10 consecutive years — and gaining another three-year accreditation from ACR for all four of its state-of-the-art mammography units.

The breast center also has gained accreditation from the Reston, Va.-based ACR for digital mammography, stereotactic and ultrasound-guided breast biopsies.

After the Wilentz center became the first facility in New Jersey to introduce full-field digital mammography in 2001, Monmouth Medical Center was among two hospitals in the state — and among 35 institutions nationwide — chosen as a site for the American College of Radiology Imaging Network-sponsored (ACRIN) clinical trial, which compares the accuracy of digital mammography with the standard film-screen method.
