Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset’s breast cancer team celebrates the hospital’s recent reaccreditation by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC).
Somerville, NJ, July 23, 2026 - The Sanofi US Breast Care Program at the Steeplechase Cancer Center at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) Somerset has been reaccredited by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC). A program administered by the American College of Surgeons, the NAPBC is a consortium of professional organizations dedicated to the improvement of the quality of care and monitoring of outcomes of patients with diseases of the breast.
The Sanofi US Breast Care Program is one of only 30 in New Jersey to earn the three-year full accreditation by the NAPBC following a voluntary virtual survey in May.
“We are committed to providing the highest quality breast care services to our community and by voluntarily undergoing surveys such as this one from national experts, we can assure our community that they have access to the best care close to home,” said Deirdre Blaus, Chief Administrative Officer, RWJUH Somerset. “NAPBC particularly recognized our program for our focus on quality and patient experience as well as our team approach to care.”
Together with Rutgers Cancer Institute – the state’s only National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center – the Sanofi US Breast Care Program offers the latest technologies, including 3D mammography, breast ultrasounds, MRI, PET/CT and core breast biopsies. A multidisciplinary breast care team, including breast radiologists; pathologists; medical, surgical and radiation oncologists; plastic surgeons; certified oncology nurses; and other breast specialists review cancer diagnoses and develop a plan of care. A breast cancer patient navigator helps guide patients through their treatment options available at the Steeplechase Cancer Center, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormone therapy, radiation oncology, minimally-invasive surgery, plastic, robotic and reconstructive breast surgery, scalp cooling technology and lymphedema treatment.
Clinical research studies and genetic counseling services are available through the cancer center’s partnership with Rutgers Cancer Institute. The Sanofi US Wellness Boutique, located in the cancer center lobby, features certified wig, prosthetic and lymphedema garment fitters as well as specialized image recovery products for patients who have had a mastectomy, including bras and swimwear. In addition, the cancer center offers a full range of support and survivorship programs.
