Singletary Oncology Center
earns accreditation
ARCHBOLD MEMORIAL
Hospital’s Lewis Hall Singletary Oncology
Center was granted a three-year accredita-
tion by the Commission on Cancer (CoC)
of the American College of Surgeons.
To earn CoC accreditation, a cancer
program must meet 34 CoC quality care
standards, be evaluated every three years
through a survey process and maintain
levels of excellence in the delivery of
comprehensive patient-centered care.
“At Archbold, patients truly have the
benefit of comprehensive cancer care,”
said Becky Troyer, administrator of the
Singletary Oncology Center. “We offer
extensive support for our patients and
survivors with programs ranging from
yoga to art therapy and from exercise
programs to support groups. And most
notably, our patients have access to
world-class physicians, technology and
clinical trials, program components that
are virtually unheard of for a town the
size of Thomasville.”
The CoC accreditation program
provides the framework for the
Singletary Oncology Center to improve
its quality of patient care through
various cancer-related programs that
focus on prevention, early diagnosis,
cancer staging, optimal treatment,
rehabilitation, lifelong follow-up for
recurrent disease and end-of-life care.
The Center also maintains a cancer
registry and contributes data to the
National Cancer Data Base (NCDB), a joint
program of the CoC and the American
Cancer Society.
