Is Your Hospital Promoting Your ACS Surgical Quality Partner Status?

February 6, 2025

The ACS has a large selection of free digital marketing resources to promote your status as an accredited CoC, NAPBC, and/or National Accreditation Program for Rectal Cancer (NAPRC) hospital. As an accredited site, your institution is considered an ACS Surgical Quality Partner (SQP). More than 1,700 hospitals are proudly displaying their SQP diamond plaques and using these free resources. You can see how they are promoting their status on our Quality in Action web page.

Claim your Complimentary Diamond and Download Your Kits

Every hospital receives one complimentary SQP diamond plaque as well as free access to digital marketing materials. If your hospital has not yet claimed your diamond or accessed the digital resources in the SQP store, email sqp@facs.org and the ACS team will help you get started. 

New Products to Promote your SQP Status

Hospitals have asked for more ways to promote their SQP status to patients in their facilities. ACS has added new acrylic diamond displays as well as window and wall clings that are available for purchase in the SQP store.

Access Short Videos to Learn How to Use the SQP Store

ACS has created three short videos to make it easier than ever to know how to access and use the digital marketing materials. View each of these videos here:

If you have any questions about the Surgical Quality Partner program, contact us at sqp@facs.org.
