Hampson Mole Breast Health Suite at UH Elyria Medical Center Recognized for Achieving NAPBC Accreditation

ELYRIA, Ohio – The National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC,) a quality program of the American College of Surgeons (ACS), has granted Three-Year Accreditation to the Hampson Mole Breast Health Suite at University Hospitals Elyria Medical Center. To achieve voluntary NAPBC accreditation, a breast center demonstrates compliance with the NAPBC standards that examine a center’s leadership, clinical services, research, community outreach, professional education, and quality improvement processes.

As a NAPBC-accredited center, the Hampson Mole Breast Health Suite provides evidence-based, multidisciplinary services focused on high-quality care for patients with breast disease.

Patients receiving care at a NAPBC-accredited center have access to:

• Comprehensive care, including a full range of state-of-the-art services
• A multidisciplinary team approach to coordinate the best treatment options
• Clinical trials and new treatments, genetic counseling, and patient centered services including psycho-social support
• Survivorship care plans that document the care each patient receives, designed to improve all cancer survivors’ quality of life

Additionally, at the Hampson Mole Breast Health Suite, patients receive one-on-one support and guidance from a Certified Breast Nurse Navigator, who is by their side from the time of abnormal imaging through survivorship.

“It is an honor to achieve NAPBC accreditation,” said Keith Warner, MD, Medical Director of the Hampson Mole Breast Health Suite at UH Elyria. “Our multi-disciplinary team is passionate about providing the highest-quality breast health care to our community, and their dedication to serving patients is unmatched.”

Kristi Sink, President, UH Elyria Medical Center, stated, “We’re proud of the team at the Hampson Mole Breast Health Suite on their efforts to attain this national accreditation. Patients with breast health care needs can be assured that they are receiving the best care possible, close to home.”
