Elliot Hospital First in New Hampshire to Earn Recognition from American College of Surgeons National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer

Elliot Health System is pleased to announce that it is the first hospital in New Hampshire to achieve accreditation from the American College of Surgeons National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC). The NAPRC requires rectal cancer programs to use a multidisciplinary, holistic approach to improving rectal cancer care. This program is based on international models that lead to better outcomes for patients, including the reduction in recurrence rates, better quality of life, improved function, and increased survival.

“Our achievement with the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer highlights our commitment to excellence in cancer care, and our absolute focus on achieving the best possible outcomes for our patients,” said Elliot Medical Group Ambulatory Services Chief Medical Officer Dr. Holly Mintz. “This accreditation was possible because of the skill, dedication, and compassion of our teams.”
