The designation recognizes programs that have high performance in quality of care, complication prevention, saving lives and reducing costs, according to a Feb. 18 press release. 

The program is led by chief of colorectal surgery Ankit Sarin, MD, and assistant professor Miquell Miller, MD, surgeon and director of the cancer center’s rectal cancer tumor board and assistant director of its office of inclusivity, diversity, equity and accessibility.
