Becker’s Hospital Review has released the 2018 edition of its list of 100 Hospitals and Health Systems with Great Oncology Programs, and, again, Nebraska Medicine has been named to the list — the only health system in Nebraska to earn this distinction. The list features hospitals and health systems leading the nation in cancer care.
The hospitals and health systems selected for this list are at the forefront of cancer treatment and research, according to Becker’s Hospital Review. Hospitals on this list offer patients comprehensive cancer care involving teams of specialists, participation in clinical trials and personalized treatment programs. Like Nebraska Medicine, the magazine notes that many organizations on the list are driving forces in the fight to end cancer as we know it.
The Becker’s Hospital Review editorial team selected hospitals for inclusion based on recognitions received and accreditations earned. The editorial team at Becker’s examined U.S. News & World Report cancer care rankings, CareChex cancer care rankings, Blue Cross Blue Shield Association Blue Distinction Center designation and designations from the National Cancer Institute while compiling the list.
Nebraska Medicine is in some select company on this list, which includes Mayo Clinic, Memorial Sloan Kettering and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. The full list can be found here.
