Cancer program earns full accreditation

The Commission on Cancer, a program of the American College of Surgeons, has granted a three-year accreditation with commendation to our Central Valley cancer programs. KP Central Valley has been designated a Comprehensive Community Cancer Program. We have also been re-accredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) a breast cancer accreditation also administered by the American College of Surgeons.

The Commission on Cancer and NAPBC are dedicated to improving the survival and quality of life for cancer patients through standard setting, prevention, research, education, and the monitoring of comprehensive quality care. Our Central Valley cancer program met or exceeded the 12 Eligibility Requirements and 25 Standards for new programs, and the 28 Standards required for breast center accreditation.
