NAPBC Reaccreditation: A Breast Center “Without Walls”

The Breast Center of Greater Waterbury at the Leever Cancer Center is a breast center “without walls.”

The Mission of the Breast Center is to provide a structure that will facilitate the provision of state-of-the-art comprehensive care for patients with breast disorders. We are pleased to announce that the Breast Center has been granted a three-year full reaccreditation designation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC). Accreditation by the NAPBC is granted only to those centers that are voluntarily committed to providing the best possible care to patients with diseases of the breast.

Each breast center must undergo a rigorous evaluation and review of its performance and compliance with NAPBC standards. To maintain accreditation, centers must monitor compliance with NAPBC standards to assure quality care, and undergo an on-site review every three years.
