Archbold Earns National Accreditation for Breast Cancer Program

Archbold Memorial Hospital has received accreditation under the American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC).

Programs accredited by the NAPBC follow a model for organizing and managing a breast center to facilitate multidisciplinary, integrated, and comprehensive breast cancer services. The NAPBC focuses on the spectrum of a patient’s journey with breast cancer or breast disease, including prevention, screening, treatment, and survivorship. By setting high standards, NAPBC accreditation guides breast centers in providing comprehensive breast care based on scientific evidence.

“Our team has dedicated so much time and energy to obtaining this accreditation,” said Becky Troyer, Administrator at the Archbold Cancer Center. “Achieving this accreditation would not have been possible without the incredible work our employees do every day.”

As an NAPBC-accredited institution, Archbold Memorial has also become an ACS Surgical Quality Partner. Being a Surgical Quality Partner signifies an institution’s dedication to consistently improving procedures and approaches, while maintaining a critical eye on process at every step.

“This designation sets Archbold apart from others in our area,” said Cianna Pender, MD, General Surgeon at Archbold South Georgia Surgical. “Patients can trust the care they receive here by our team and that it adheres to the most rigorous standards in surgical quality.”
