UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center has been designated an American College of Surgeons (ACS) Surgical Quality Partner. The award is given to cancer programs that excel in quality of care, preventing complications, saving lives and reducing costs.

ACS quality improvement programs are grounded in more than a century of experience and are an important measure of a hospital’s surgical quality.

The designation follows the news that UC Davis Medical Center and the cancer center earned accreditation once again from the Commission on Cancer, a quality evaluation program of the ACS.
