FLORIDA HOSPITAL FISH MEMORIAL RECEIVES ACR ACCREDITATION
ORANGE CITY, FLORIDA, May 9, 2006 - FLORIDA HOSPITAL Fish Memorial has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in Mammography as the result of a recent survey by the American College of Radiology.
The ACR, headquartered in Reston, VA, awards accreditation to facilities for the achievement of high practice standards after a peer-review evaluation of the practice. Evaluations are conducted by board-certified physicians and medial physicists who are experts in the field. They assess the qualifications of the personnel and the adequacy of facility equipment. The surveyors report their findings to the ACR's Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report.
"The Woman's Place is very excited to be recognized," said Woman's Place Manager Jill Kamla, RT. "This award is a reflection of our talented and skilled employees who work hard to provide exceptional and compassionate care to our patients."
The ACR is a national organization serving more than 32,000 diagnostic-interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, and nuclear medicine and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.
