Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is a member of several prestigious organizations. Please select a link for more information.

Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center is among a select group to hold the National Cancer Institute designation of "Comprehensive Cancer Center" and New York State's only one outside of New York City. This designation means that a cancer center's combined research, treatment and educational programs have weathered extensive peer review, met rigorous national standards, and made fundamental contributions to reducing the cancer burden.

Roswell Park was among the first to be recognized by the NCI as a Comprehensive Cancer Center in 1974, serving as a national model ever since.

Roswell Park is also a member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), an alliance of the nation's leading cancer centers. A not-for-profit organization, the NCCN brings together the best minds in science to engineer continuous quality improvements in cancer care; improve the effectiveness of cancer care delivery through the ongoing collection and analysis of national outcomes data; enhance communications and collaboration among member institutions; offer access to the latest, most promising clinical trials; and provide best practice guidelines and measurement tools.

Roswell Park has achieved accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) as a result of its demonstrated compliance with the Joint Commission's nationally recognized health care standards.
