The Breast Center at Milford Regional Receives Accreditation
The Breast Center at Milford Regional Medical Center has recently received a full accreditation designation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a program administered by the American College of Surgeons. Accreditation is only given to those centers that have committed to provide the highest level of quality breast care and that undergo a rigorous evaluation process and review of their performance. A breast center must demonstrate compliance with standards established by the NAPBC for treating women who are diagnosed with the full spectrum of breast disease. The standards include proficiency in the areas of center leadership, clinical management, research, community outreach, professional education, and quality improvement.
Receiving care at a NAPBC-accredited breast center ensures that a patient will have access to comprehensive care, including a full range of state-of-the-art services, a multidisciplinary team approach to coordinate the best treatment options, information about ongoing clinical trials and new treatment options, and, most importantly, quality breast care close to home.
“The Breast Center at Milford Regional is another example of our efforts to always remain in the forefront of women’s health initiatives,” said Edward J. Kelly, Milford Regional president. “As medical director, Dr. Renée Quarterman has done an extraordinary job working with a wide array of specialists to develop a highly effective multi-disciplinary approach to women’s breast health. The recent accreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) is a testament to the quality of this program and provides assurance that Milford Regional’s Breast Center meets the very highest standards of care.”
