Southcoast receives prestigious Cancer Accreditation
Southcoast Hospitals Group has received the highly-regarded Approval with Commendation for its system-wide oncology program from the American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer.
The three-year Approval with Commendation, the highest rating awarded by the Commission on Cancer, is given only to those facilities that have voluntarily committed to providing the highest level of quality cancer care and that undergo a rigorous evaluation process and review of performance.
"Having this accreditation tells the community, especially our oncology patients, that we provide the highest quality oncology service here at Southcoast and that we have met all of the national standards set by the American College of Surgeons," said Frances Fuller, RN, Director of Oncology & Specialty Services.
"This prestigious approval affirms that Southcoast Hospitals Group meets high standards of cancer care across our system at all levels — from prevention, early diagnosis, evaluation, staging, treatment, rehabilitation and surveillance of recurrent disease," Fuller said.
Certification also covers non-medical aspects of cancer care, including psychosocial support and end-of-life care. It includes inpatient and outpatient services.
