She walked me through how a 3-to-6-month wait at her old breast center became a 3-day wait, how she raised $42 million to build a new one, and how Siemens' mobile units are bringing 15-minute screenings, 4.8-second image sweeps, and 50-degree wide-angle tomosynthesis straight into underserved communities.
