The American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer reaccredited the CHI St. Joseph Health cancer program last month, recognizing the health system’s commitment to providing comprehensive, high-quality, patient-centered care and its continued work towards improving the care and outcomes of patients with cancer in the Brazos Valley.
The Cancer Center received three commendation standards for meeting and exceeding the recommendations set by the Commission on Cancer.
The Commission on Cancer offers many benefits including structured care models; accountability and quality improvement measures; extensive data to use for quality improvement, administration and research; data analysis; public awareness and recruiting. There are also numerous patient and community benefits including reputable and verified standards of care, collaborative efforts to provide cancer prevention and cancer screening events and greater exposure to clinical research studies and trials. CHI St. Joseph Health is the only health facility in the Brazos Valley to be accredited by the American College of Surgeon’s Commission on Cancer.
