Patti Lyons, 61, of Doylestown, is the proud owner of Peace Valley Lavender Farm. Five years ago, she received a diagnosis of rectal cancer. Today, she is sharing her story of healing. Patti says the compassionate care she received and the special connection she formed with her colorectal surgeon played an equally important role in her decisions to receive her care at Doylestown Hospital. "You don't appreciate how important it is to have this level of expertise and service close by until you need it," says Patti. 

Doylestown Hospital recently earned a three-year accreditation from the National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC), a quality program of the American College of Surgeons. Only four hospitals in Pennsylvania hold this prestigious distinction, and ours is the only one in Bucks County.
