Defining Excellence
Great healthcare adheres to several key principles; convenience, expertise, service, and a sense of trust and collaboration between you and your physician are first and foremost among them.
It can be challenging to find the healthcare facility that’s right for you; one that embodies all of these qualities and more.
That’s why a review of a facility’s accreditations can be helpful when you want to ensure that you and your family will receive the best possible care.
Accreditation is awarded to medical institutions that meet or exceed strict quality standards as established by the most reputable patient advocacy and professional medical groups in the industry. Watson Clinic voluntarily participates in these examinations, during which every facet of our operations is scrutinized against strict national and state guidelines.
Why choose Watson Clinic?
Here are a few of the accreditations that have been granted to Watson Clinic as a result of these evaluations:
- The Watson Clinic’s Breast Health Services was awarded a full 3-year accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), recognizing the high caliber of breast cancer evaluation and management services offered. We achieved full compliance with 27 strict quality standards with no deficiencies, and the Women’s Center is one of only 13 breast centers in the state to hold this prestigious accreditation.
- Watson Clinic is accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. This honor attests to our adherence to national standards of excellence.
- Our Center for Cancer Care & Research (CCCR) was awarded a three-year accreditation from the American College of Physicians Commission on Cancer, making CCCR one of only three freestanding cancer centers in the country to achieve this distinction.
- Watson Clinic maintains the only sleep disorder center in the area to be accredited by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine
- Our radiology department received prestigious PET/CT, Breast Imaging, MRI and CT accreditations, which testify to the impeccable patient care and safety procedures used with the radiology department’s state-of-the-art imaging equipment.
