Mercy Medical Center – North Iowa Accredited by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons MASON CITY - The Commission on Cancer (CoC) of the American College of Surgeons (AcoS) has granted Three-Year Accreditation with Commendation to the Cancer Program at Mercy Medical Center – North Iowa.

A facility receives a Three-Year Accreditation with Commendation following the on-site evaluation by a physician survey or during which the facility demonstrates a Commendation level of compliance with one or more standards that represent the full scope of the cancer program, including cancer committee leadership, cancer data management, clinical services, research, community outreach, and quality improvement. In addition, a facility receives a compliance rating for all other standards.

About Mercy Cancer Center Mercy Cancer Center offers patients the most sophisticated oncology care; including state-of-the-art radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and surgery in combination with clinical research, a comprehensive breast center, genetic counseling, and many support services. Mercy Cancer Center is staffed by highly specialized professionals with years of experience in providing the best cancer care.

“The CoC sets 36 standards for quality for Cancer Programs, collects quality data from the approved facilities, then uses this data to develop effective educational interventions to improve cancer care outcomes at the national, state, and local level,” said Mercy Cancer Committee Chairman, Steven Allgood, M.D. “We are very proud to be a part of this program and to have been granted the Three-Year Approval with Commendation.”

Receiving care at a CoC-accredited cancer program, such as Mercy Cancer Center, ensures that a patient will have access to: · Comprehensive care, including a range of state-of-the-art services and equipment; · A multi-specialty, team approach to coordinate the best treatment options; · Information about ongoing clinical trials and new treatment options; · Access to cancer-related information, education and support; · A cancer registry that collects data on type and stage of cancers and treatment results and offers lifelong patient follow-up; · Ongoing monitoring and improvement of care; and · Most importantly, quality care close to home.

Mercy Cancer Center is close to home; an important factor in a patient's overall health. Having the support of family and friends during a time of great stress can make a real difference in the quality of life while fighting cancer. The Mercy Cancer Center facility is truly unique in that it was designed to provide a broad spectrum of necessary treatment services in one, easyto-access location. Because of the Cancer Center's dedication to innovation, big-city technology is delivered with small town care.
