Providers at The Thermogram Center

Our Story: The Thermogram Center, Inc.

The Thermogram Center was conceived by Tirza Derflinger in 2002. She had previously served as a Medical Laboratory Technician in the Army, obtained a B.S. in Industrial Engineering, and an M.B.A. in the Management of Technology. After working professionally for over 15 years, she had become dissatisfied… corporate work had become too impersonal and was no longer soulfully gratifying. At age 38, she left a six-figure income to return to her true calling of helping people in a health field and founded The Thermogram Center, Inc.

In 2005, she responded to the overwhelming question from clients, “what can I do about the potential risk factors observed in my thermal imaging?” by founding the Breast Health Education Group, made up of seven authors of the book, “Better Breast Health – for Life!™”. Since then, Tirza serves as a Breast Health Educator by providing education to clients, the community, and the world – as the book is 100% free in its PDF downloadable format.
