January 15, 2021
Saginaw, MI —The National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a quality program of the American College of Surgeons (ACS), has granted Three-Year Accreditation to Covenant HealthCare, located in Saginaw, Michigan. To achieve voluntary NAPBC accreditation, a breast center demonstrates compliance with the NAPBC standards that look at a center’s leadership, clinical services, research, community outreach, professional education, and quality improvement. Breast centers seeking NAPBC accreditation undergo a site visit every three years.
As an NAPBC-accredited center, Covenant HealthCare is committed to maintaining levels of excellence in the delivery of comprehensive, patient-centered, multidisciplinary care resulting in high-quality care for patients with breast disease. Patients receiving care at an NAPBC-accredited center have access to information on clinical trials and new treatments, genetic counseling, and patient-centered services including psycho-social support, and a survivorship care plan that documents the care each patient receives and seeks to improve cancer survivor’s quality of life.
"Having achieved and maintained NAPBC accreditation since 2011 solidifies our team’s ongoing commitment to providing the highest level of quality care to patients with disease of the breast.”
– Sandra Johnson, Director of the Covenant Cancer Care Center
