Pennington Cancer Center at Baton Rouge General

As the region's first accredited, comprehensive community cancer program, Pennington Cancer Center brings together a vast network of expert physicians, nurses and other professionals who are all focused on you. The power of Pennington Cancer Center lies in its support from the entire Baton Rouge General network of specialty doctors, leading-edge technology, and compassionate, quality care.

The Pennington Cancer Center was also recently named Louisiana's first accredited Breast Center by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), administered by the American College of Surgeons.  Accreditation by the NAPBC is only given to those centers that have voluntarily committed to provide the highest level of quality breast care and that undergo a rigorous evaluation process and review of their performance. Baton Rouge General earned a perfect score, achieving all 27 standards outlined for the treatment of women who are diagnosed with the full spectrum of breast disease. These standards include proficiency in Center Leadership, Clinical Management, Research, Community Outreach, Professional Education and Quality Improvement.  

From detection and diagnosis to treatment and recovery, all of these resources are combined to deliver personalized cancer treatment for our patients.
