Commission on Cancer Accreditation

Cancer Survivor Day is just one facet of the exceptional care and service we provide to our members. Did you know that our cancer program recently received a Three-Year Accreditation from the Commission on Cancer (CoC), a quality program of the American College of Surgeons? To earn the CoC accreditation, a cancer program must meet or exceed the CoC quality care standards, be evaluated every three years through a stringent in-person and data survey process and maintain levels of excellence in the delivery of comprehensive patient-centered care.
