The Oklahoma Breast Center's Online Toolkit for Breast Surgery Education
The Oklahoma Breast Center is proud to partner with The American College
of Surgeons (ACS) to offer patients a comprehensive
online education toolkit. This toolkit, combined with guidance from your care team at The Oklahoma
Breast Center, is designed to empower you with the knowledge needed to
confidently navigate your breast surgery journey—from preparation
to recovery.
What Is the Breast Surgery Patient Education Toolkit?
The ACS Patient Education Toolkit is a personalized, digital resource tailored
to help you understand your surgical procedure and make informed decisions
about your care. Through an exclusive partnership funded by the Norman
Regional Health Foundation, we’ve made this essential tool available
to our patients.

by surgical experts and trusted health agencies. Here’s what you

treatment planning.
