Score another point for Greater Houston’s acclaimed medical industry -- the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons has granted a three-year accreditation to the cancer program at Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital. Earning CoC accreditation is quite an achievement. In addition to excellent patient care, there are thirty-four quality standards Memorial Hermann Katy’s cancer program is required to meet in order to maintain their standing. These standards are reevaluated every three years. “We are committed to providing the communities we serve with the best possible cancer care,” said Scott Barbe, Chief Executive Officer at Memorial Hermann Katy. “Our staff is committed to continually improving and this achievement demonstrates the results of that dedication.” The CoC was founded in 1922 by the American College of Surgeons for one reason: To improve the quality of life for cancer patients. By setting standards, leading research and monitoring the care cancer patients receive, they are helping each patient live longer, healthier lives. For Memorial Hermann Katy, the CoC accreditation allows greater opportunities to improve its already stellar patient care. For more information, visit Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital on the web here.
