Why choosing an APEx-accredited radiation oncology facility is important for patients?

- The process of care
- The radiation oncology team
- Safety
- Quality management
- Patient-centered care
When you choose an APEx-accredited facility, you know that:
- Our facility has voluntarily gone through a rigorous review process by trained radiation oncology professionals.
- Our facility’s policies and procedures have been evaluated using objective, verifiable expectations for performance in radiation oncology.
- Our facility is committed to the highest standards of safety and quality in the practice of radiation oncology.
