A Distinguished Seal of Approval
PCRMC’s cancer care services have been accredited by the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer, including multiple commendations in 2005 and 2008. Approved cancer programs must demonstrate that they actively improve the quality of patient care through prevention, early diagnosis, pretreatment evaluation, staging, optimal treatment, and rehabilitation and support services. Only 1,500 facilities in the United States have accredited cancer care programs.
