Approved by the American College of Surgeons

Covenant Cancer Treatment Center has distinguished itself in yet another way, as an approved Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons comprehensive cancer program. Slightly more than one-fifth of our country’s hospitals have approved cancer programs, and more than 80 percent of patients who are newly diagnosed with cancer are treated in these facilities. Receiving care at an approved cancer program ensures that a patient will have access to: quality care close to home, comprehensive care offering state-of-the art services and a multispecialty team approach to coordinate the best treatment options available.

There are only 1,433 programs in the whole country that have met the rigorous standards set for accreditation by the American College of Surgeons. The accreditation program of the Commission on Cancer requires that the cancer center:

• Is committed to complete and quality care
• Promises to go above and beyond to keep accurate records, conduct community-based teaching and screening, and collaborate with other health care professionals for the best possible care
• Is obligated to keep an accurate cancer registry for life-long follow up
• Provides an opportunity for patients to participate in ongoing clinical trials and new treatment options
• Ensures its physicians and all care-giving staff meet state and federal requirements for continuing education and training to provide comprehensive care to patients
