Cancer Centers Accredited
The Edward Cancer Centers in Naperville and Plainfield have received national accreditation for radiation oncology. Both completed the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Accreditation for Excellence (APEx). To earn the accreditation, a facility must meet standards in process of care, radiation oncology team, safety, quality management and patient-centered treatment.
Scam Prevention
Last night at city hall, the Naperville Police Department held a public presentation about scam prevention. Crime Prevention Specialist Julie Smith gave the presentation on how to identify, prevent, and respond to scams. Residents shared their own experiences with scamming as well, and everything from door-to-door scams, email phishing, scams over the phones, and fake websites was discussed. The best way to prevent being scammed is to go with your gut when something feels wrong and stay educated and up to date on what ploys are being used by professional scammers. For more information, you can visit the NPD’s website.
