The Shady Grove Adventist Aquilino Cancer Center is the first of its kind in Montgomery County -- a single location that provides cancer patients and their loved ones comprehensive, personalized outpatient care.
It means leading physicians, the latest treatments, clinical trials and research, cancer care navigation services, support services and resources are all under one roof. This quality care is recognized with two prestigious recognitions:
Accredited with commendation as a Community Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Program by the American College of Surgeons (ACoS) Commission on Cancer (CoC). Shady Grove Adventist Hospital is among only one-third of all cancer programs in the U.S. that hold this distinction.
Accredited by the American College of Radiology (ACR). This is considered the industry "gold standard," and Shady Grove Adventist Hospital's Radiation Oncology department in the Aquilino Cancer Center in Rockville and the Shady Grove Adventist Radiation Oncology Center in Germantown are among only 15 percent of centers in the U.S. to hold ACR accreditation.
Families facing cancer will only have to drive to one location -- the Aquilino Cancer Center -- for medical care and the support needed throughout diagnosis, treatment, recovery and survivorship.
