Virginia Mason is accredited by the multidisciplinary Commission on Cancer (CoC) — a program of the American College of Surgeons (ACoS) that recognizes cancer care programs for their commitment to providing comprehensive, high-quality and multidisciplinary patient centered care. The CoC is dedicated to improving survival and quality of life for cancer patients through standard-setting, prevention, research, education and the monitoring of comprehensive quality care.

Being designated a CoC cancer program means that patients are provided with comprehensive care close to home from a multidisciplinary team that offers a range of services, equipment, education and support. Patients also receive lifelong follow-up, ongoing monitoring and improvement of care, and information about ongoing clinical trials and new treatment options.
