ROSEDALE, MD—The Breast Center at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center has achieved a significant milestone, earning accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) for the fifth consecutive time. This prestigious recognition, awarded by the American College of Surgeons (ACS), underscores the center’s dedication to providing exceptional care for breast disease patients.
Maintaining accreditation for five consecutive three-year cycles is a challenging feat, as hospitals must consistently demonstrate compliance with rigorous standards. The NAPBC evaluates centers across various aspects, including leadership, clinical services, research, community outreach, professional education, and quality improvement.
“We are thrilled to receive this prestigious accreditation for a fifth year. It demonstrates our leadership in delivering the highest level of patient-centered, multidisciplinary care to individuals facing breast disease,” said Mahsa Mohebtash, medical director of MedStar Health Community Oncology. “The high standards to earn this distinction are, and have been, our program for more than 15-years. No one in the region can say that.”
The Breast Center at MedStar Franklin Square earned this distinction by showcasing its commitment to comprehensive care, offering a full range of state-of-the-art services, a multidisciplinary team approach to treatment planning, and access to information about clinical trials and research.
The NAPBC accreditation also recognizes MedStar Franklin Square as an ACS Surgical Quality Partner, highlighting the hospital’s commitment to surgical excellence and its role in advancing patient care within the community. While specific statistics on the frequency of this achievement are not widely available, achieving five consecutive accreditations is considered a rare accomplishment due to the demanding standards and ongoing commitment required.
