Connected to Leading Cancer Care Partners
The Commission on Cancer
Hawaiʻi Pacific Health is proud to be the first health care system in Hawaiʻi to have earned the Integrated Network Cancer Program accreditation from the Commission on Cancer. All Hawaiʻi Pacific Health medical centers are accredited through the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC) Program.
Applying for and maintaining CoC accreditation is a voluntary commitment by each cancer program that ensures its patients will have access to the full scope of services required to diagnose, treat, rehabilitate, and support patients and their families with their cancer care. Accreditation requires a cancer program to continually evaluate its performance, reaffirming to the community the commitment of the program to provide high-quality cancer care.
The CoC is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to improving survival and quality of life for cancer patients through standard-setting, prevention, research, education, and the monitoring of comprehensive quality care.
University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center
As an active member of the Hawaiʻi Cancer Consortium, Hawaiʻi Pacific Health has partnered with the University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center, which is recognized by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) as a consortium cancer center.
The Hawaiʻi Cancer Consortium represents the unified basic, translational, and clinical cancer research efforts benefiting all citizens of Hawaiʻi and the Pacific region.
The NCI designation benefits patients at Hawaiʻi Pacific Health and across the state through increased access to clinical trials and new therapeutic technologies available in collaboration with the University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center’s clinical partners, an alliance of the state’s leading health care organizations united with the common goal of eliminating cancer through sciences.

The Cancer Center of Hawaiʻi is a physician-run radiation oncology facility, so every decision is infused with the goal of delivering the best patient care possible. The Cancer Center of Hawaiʻi provides the latest cutting-edge technology and advanced treatments found nowhere else in Hawaiʻi.

Hawaiʻi Pacific Health has one of the only pediatric oncology programs in Hawaiʻi and the only bone marrow transplant facility in the state.
Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women & Children is the state's only member of the Children's Oncology Group, a global nonprofit organization dedicated to developing new treatments for children with cancer.
National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers
The National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) encourages hospitals, treatment centers, individual physician practices, and other facilities committed to breast health care to improve the quality of care available at their center(s) through various breast-related programs.
These programs are concerned with prevention, early detection, diagnosis, pre-treatment evaluation, staging, optimal treatment, rehabilitation, surveillance for recurrent disease, support services, and end-of-life care.
The availability of a full range of medical services, along with a multidisciplinary team approach to patient care, ensures the provision of continuity of care for women with diseases of the breast.
