The Wilentz Center is the first center in Monmouth and Ocean counties to be granted a three-year full accreditation designation by The National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) for "providing the highest quality evaluation and management of patients with breast disease."
The Wilentz Center is the first facility in New Jersey and just the 20th in the nation to earn American College of Radiology Gold Seal Accreditation for breast MRI.
A year after its debut, the Jacqueline M. Wilentz Comprehensive Breast Center passed its first Food and Drug Administration (FDA) inspection for being in total compliance with stringent requirements under the federal Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA). For every subsequent year, the Center passed the annual MQSA inspection with "no" deficiencies—a success achieved by less than 20 percent of the more than 2,000 facilities in the country inspected by the FDA.
