Womack Army Medical Center has been recognized for its approach to treating breast cancer patients, becoming the first Army medical facility to receive such credentials.
Earlier this month, the team at Womack's Breast Health Clinic won accreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers. Walter Reed National Military Medical Center is the only other military facility to receive the accreditation.
"It's a recognition of our success," said Lt. Col. Elizabeth Sawyer, directorate of surgery at Womack.
Sawyer said staff members knew the clinic was doing a great job, using a multidisciplinary approach to treating breast cancer patients, and the accreditation is a way to spread the word.
