50 YEARS
CELEBRATING
HALF A CENTURY OF
ACCREDITATION BY THE
COMMISSION ON CANCER
ACCREDITATION FROM THE American
College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC) is
not easy to earn. It is a team effort that requires strong
leadership and hard work on everyone's part. Earning
the accreditation—with commendation, no less—is
an honor bestowed on the top 5 percent of cancer
programs in the United States, and the HSHS Sacred
Heart Hospital Regional Cancer Center has been
among that top 5 percent for 50 years now.
Our dedication to patients is the driving
force behind our strict adherence to the standards set
forth by the CoC, which can be challenging, but the
effort also raises the level of care we provide.
"There are 12 eligibility requirements and
30 standards of care that we are held to," says Cathy
Haynes, CTR, Registry Project Manager at HSHS
Sacred Heart Hospital Regional Cancer Center.
"Our cancer committee team is integral to making
of Top-Quality Cancer Care
