Gold-Level Accreditation from the Commission on Cancer

Gold Level Accreditation means the Renown cancer care team has not only met but exceeded national standards for providing cancer care, proving that we focus on the right things for clinical quality and service, like:

  • Providing the highest-level quality care with a team approach
  • Offering practical and helpful support services to people with cancer
  • Staying up-to-date on cancer research

We’re doing the right things to treat people with cancer and support them through their treatment. Accreditation also means that Renown offers cancer treatment built for patients and their families, not for doctors and board members.
