Lakeland Regional Cancer Center’s Radiation Oncology Department was examined by the American College of Radiation Oncology (ACRO) in April 2007 awarded a full three-year Accreditation for the time period March 2007 – March 2010. ACRO stated “LRCC is a well organized and operated oncology practice that meets all of the ACRO standards for practice accreditation.” There were no deficiencies or areas of improvement noted in the survey report.
Our breast cancer program was recently recognized by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers with a 3 year full accreditation designation.
