Pella Regional Health Center has joined the National Consortium of Breast Centers and is now a participant in their program known as the National Quality Measures for Breast Centers. Both organizations set quality measures that facilities provide evidence of, in order to achieve various levels of certification.

New Breast Health Nurse Navigator Kimberly Pearson says the Pella Regional Breast Care Program offers a multi-disciplinary approach to prevention, diagnosis, treatment and recovery for breast health issues.

Joining the NCBC is one step in pursuit of the initial levels of certification with a goal of eventually being recognized as a certified comprehensive breast cancer treatment center.
