Gateway Medical Center’s Cancer Program is Accredited by the Commission on Cancer (CoC). Applying for 
and maintaining CoC accreditation is a voluntary commitment by a cancer program that ensures its patients will have access to the full scope of services required to diagnose, treat, rehabilitate, and support patients with cancer and their families. A cancer program is able to continually evaluate its performance and take proactive corrective action when necessary. This continuous evaluation reaffirms the commitment of the program to provide quality cancer care.
All registered nurses on our Oncology Unit are chemotherapy certified. Nurses on this 21-bed unit specialize in cancer care of the patients and families, and also end of life care.
