We understand the physical and emotional complexities of cancer. We’re here for you and your family throughout every stage of your journey to provide expert, compassionate care and treatment.
Leaders in Cancer Care
Our cancer programs are accredited by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC). This accreditation assures that we provide access to a range of services needed to diagnose, treat, rehabilitate and support cancer patients and their families. In addition, our cancer program is recognized as a designated Center of Excellence by the insurance carrier OptumHealth.
University Health also is one of only four organizations in Texas recognized as a Breast Center of Excellence. This honor from the National Quality Measures for Breast Centers (NQMBC) represents a commitment to provide the highest level of quality breast care to patients.
