UPHS-Marquette gets reaccredited in radiation oncology

MARQUETTE, MI— UPHS-Marquette has received a three-year term of reaccreditation in radiation oncology.

It’s the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology.

Radiation oncology is the use of high-energy radiation to treat cancer. A radiation oncologist may use radiation to treat cancer or to relieve a cancer patient’s pain.

UPHS–Marquette has maintained its accreditation from ACR for more than ten years.

The ACR is the nation’s oldest and most widely accepted radiation oncology accrediting body, with more than 700 accredited sites and 30 years of accreditation experience.

Nicole was born near Detroit but has lived in the U.P. most of her life. She graduated from Marquette Senior High School and attended Michigan State and Northern Michigan Universities, graduating from NMU in 1993 with a degree in English.
