Jersey Shore Hospital
Receives ACR Accreditation
Jersey Shore, PA (December 2, 2003) - Jersey Shore Hospital 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 its practice. Evaluations are conducted by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. They assessed the qualifications of the Hospital personnel and the adequacy of the mammography equipment. The surveyors reported their findings to the ACR's Committee on Accreditation, who subsequently provided the practice with a comprehensive report.
The ACR is a national organization serving for than 32,000 diagnostic/interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists and medical physicists with programs for focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.
