Healthcare and the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center have once again been
recognized by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer for
providing high-quality cancer care.
The commission granted the WVU Healthcare Cancer Program a three-year
accreditation award with commendation following a survey in October that rates
the performance of cancer facilities compared to the commission's standards of
quality care.
"I am very proud to say that our cancer program received an outstanding review
by the commission on cancer," said Jame Abraham, M.D., medical director of the
Cancer Service Line for WVU Healthcare and the Cancer Center. "A three-year
accreditation award with commendation is the best we can achieve in this
survey."
"It is an honor to receive re-accreditation from the American College of
Surgeons Commission on Cancer," Cancer Review Committee Chair Hannah Hazard,
M.D., said. "As a national organization that reviews all the accredited cancer
centers in the country, the re-accreditation with commendation is a clear
signal of the Cancer Center's commitment to the care of cancer patients in our
region."
Cancer program surveys are performed every three years at facilities that have
voluntarily committed to provide the best in cancer diagnosis and treatment and
are able to comply with established commission standards.
The
current re-accreditation was based on data from the years 2006 to 2009.
The ACOS Commission on Cancer has recognized WVU's Cancer Program for providing
the best in cancer care since 1981.
