BATON ROUGE, La. -- After recently being named one of the World’s Best Specialty Hospitals for cancer care by Newsweek, Woman's Hospital has again received reaccreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) and the American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer (CoC) for setting the standard for women’s cancer care in the region.
“Being accredited by trusted organizations like NAPBC and CoC tells our patients that they are receiving world-class care when they choose our experts,” said Cynthia Rabalais, Executive Director, Breast & GYN Cancer Pavilion at Woman's Hospital. “More than that, this accreditation also recognizes the patient-centered care we provide. The quality of care, along with exceptional patient experience, is what sets Woman’s apart.”
The Breast & GYN Cancer Pavilion, a partnership with Mary Bird Perkins-Our Lady of the Lake Cancer Center, is the only facility of its kind that enables women to receive state-of-the-art care close to home from three trusted local organizations. The Pavilion has delivered more than 55,000 services since opening in 2018 to women across Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas.
Woman’s received a three-year full accreditation by the NAPBC which is granted only to centers that are committed to providing the best possible care to patients with diseases of the breast. To maintain accreditation, Woman’s must undergo a rigorous on-site evaluation and review of its quality care every three years. The hospital was initially accredited by the NAPBC in May 2011 and has been reaccredited in 2014, 2017 and now 2021.
Woman's also has received a three-year full reaccreditation by the American College of Surgeons’ Commission on Cancer. The Commission on Cancer encourages hospitals to improve their quality of patient care through cancer-related programs focused on the full continuum of care from prevention through end-of-life or survivorship. To maintain this accreditation, a facility must also undergo an on-site evaluation every three years and comply with standards throughout all areas of their cancer program.
