Maury Regional Women's Center renews accreditation

Maury Regional Women’s Center has achieved accreditation under the American College of Surgeons (ACS) National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC).

“Maury Regional Women’s Center voluntarily participates with ACS NAPBC to ensure women receive exceptional breast health services, from screening to cancer treatment. The benefits of accreditation align with our mission for clinical excellence and compassionate care,” said CEO Martin Chaney, MD. “It’s our goal to be the organization our community can trust for health and wellness, especially for diseases that impact so many of our friends and family like breast cancer.”

Breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in women in the United States—after skin cancer—affecting one in eight women. 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.

The requirements for accreditation include a detailed evaluation of multiple standards alongside an onsite visit every three years. This process is completed by a trained reviewer from NAPBC to ensure that the medical organization is compliant.

Maury Regional Women’s Center provides support services and educational programs on conditions and topics facing women today. These services include 3D mammography, breast biopsy, breast ultrasound and bone density studies.

As an NAPBC-accredited institution, Maury Regional Women’s Center also becomes 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 processes at every step. The Surgical Quality Partner designation lets patients know MRMC is dedicated to quality and relentless self-improvement and has been verified or accredited by the ACS. Patients can trust that the care they receive at Surgical Quality Partner hospitals adheres to the most rigorous standards in surgical quality.

“ACS Quality programs are grounded in more than a century of experience and participation is an important measure of a hospital’s surgical quality. As an ACS Surgical Quality Partner, Maury Regional Medical Center has shown a commitment to providing the best possible patient care, evaluating that care in a rigorous fashion and dedicating themselves to continuous self-improvement,” said ACS Executive Director & Chief Executive Officer Patricia L. Turner, MD, MBA, FACS.
