BEVERLY HILLS, CA - The Center for Radiation Therapy of Beverly Hills - Vantage Oncology was recently awarded a second, three-year term of accreditation in radiation oncology as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology (ACR). It remains the only radiation oncology facility in Beverly Hills that is accredited by the ACR, and one of only 10 accredited centers in Southern California. The Center for Radiation Therapy of Beverly Hills is part of Vantage Oncology which includes more than 60 cancer treatment centers in 14 states providing quality, personalized care in a community setting.

The ACR is the nation's oldest and most widely accepted radiation oncology accrediting body, with over 600 accredited sites, and 27 years of accreditation experience. The ACR seal of accreditation represents the highest level of quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting specific Practice Guidelines and Technical Standards developed by ACR after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified radiation oncologists and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Patient care and treatment, patient safety, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs are assessed. The findings are reported to the ACR Committee on Radiation Oncology Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report they can use for continuous practice improvement.

"The ACR's reaccreditation of our center represents our entire team's commitment to excellence in delivering high quality radiation oncology services to our patients," said May-Lin Tao, M.D., radiation oncologist and co-medical director of The Center for Radiation Therapy of Beverly Hills - Vantage Oncology.
The ACR is a national professional organization serving more than 36,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, nuclear medicine physicians, and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.

"We are extremely proud to have received this reaccreditation and will continue to hold ourselves to the highest standards because that is what our patients have come to expect and deserve," Henry Yampolsky, M.D., radiation oncologist and co-medical director of The Center for Radiation Therapy of Beverly Hills - Vantage Oncology.
