Lakeland Regional Health Cancer Center Re-Accredited for Breast Program

Lakeland Regional Health Cancer Center's Breast Cancer Program has achieved re-accreditation through 2018 from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC). The American College of Surgeons oversees the NAPBC. This accreditation recognizes the program's commitment to providing high-quality care for patients with breast disease in Polk County.

The NAPBC accreditation requires facilities to demonstrate comprehensive patient care and advanced treatment protocols. This ensures local residents have access to accredited breast cancer services.

The center met or exceeded NAPBC standards, which include a multidisciplinary approach, access to clinical trials, and a commitment to continuous quality improvement. The accreditation reflects the dedication of the physicians, nurses, and staff at the cancer center.

The NAPBC is a voluntary program that provides the public with information about breast center quality. Accreditation assures patients they receive care from a facility meeting the highest standards in breast cancer treatment and management.
