The Breast Center of Greater Waterbury has been granted a three-year/Full accreditation designation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC). The NAPBC is a consortium of national, professional organizations dedicated to the improvement of the quality of care and the monitoring of outcomes for patients with diseases of the breast. The NAPBC strategically built its leadership by inviting leaders from the major disciplines that routinely work together to diagnose and treat breast disease to become part of the consortium. Working toward one goal, this multidisciplinary group formed the NAPBC Board that mutually defined 27 program standards and 17 program components of care that collectively provide the most efficient and contemporary care available for patients diagnosed with diseases of the breast.

The NAPBC is a program administered by the American College of Surgeons. To learn more about the NAPBC, visit the NAPBC website at http://www.accreditedbreastcenters.org.
