Former breast cancer patient Carol Church had almost given up hope on getting reconstructive surgery following her second battle with the disease. But it was by lucky coincidence that Logan Health had just hired Dr. Thomas Wright to specialize in plastic and reconstructive surgery, bringing top-of-the-line care to the area where he grew up.
Wright began his tenure at Logan Health Medical Center in Kalispell in August of 2023. With an emphasis on breast reconstruction, Wright said he enjoys getting to know his patients and learning how to best solve their issues.
Many of the surgeries he performs go to improve someone’s overall quality of life, particularly for recovered breast cancer patients who opt for a free flap surgery. Free flap surgery is a type of breast reconstruction where a tissue flap (including blood vessels, skin, fat, and sometimes muscle) is removed from one area of the body and is reattached to the chest to form a new breast mound, according to the National Cancer Institute.
