The National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC,) a quality program of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) has granted Three-Year Accreditation to Coliseum Medical Centers. 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 a NAPBC-accredited center, Coliseum Medical Centers 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 a 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. 

Dr. A. Keith Martin, Medical Director of the Coliseum Breast Center, said, “Residents of middle Georgia should be proud to know that they have an accredited breast program at Coliseum Medical Centers.  The physicians and staff of this hospital work very hard to ensure our patients receive the best care from screening, to treatment and through recovery.”

Receiving care at this NAPBC-accredited center ensures that patients have access to:

Comprehensive care, including a full range of state-of-the-art services
