Distinguishing itself as a leader in echocardiography services, Kenmore Mercy Hospital, a member of the Catholic Health System, has received national re-accreditation from the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories.
The three-year accreditation recognizes the hospital’s “Echo Lab” for providing superior quality testing services.
“Cardiovascular Disease is the leading cause of death in the United States,” said Robert Glover MD, chief of cardiology at Kenmore Mercy. “This accreditation is a significant achievement for Kenmore Mercy and recognizes our commitment to quality testing for the diagnosis of heart disease.”
Echocardiography is a complex imaging technique that relies on the experience and training of both the cardiologist and the cardiac sonographer. Their interpretive and technical abilities determine the diagnostic accuracy of an echocardiograph examination. The ICAEL accredits only the top performing Echo labs throughout the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico.
