    11/30/2009



    Wenatchee Valley Medical Center's Ultrasound Department in Radiology has been granted accreditation in Breast Ultrasound from the American College of Radiology.

    This is in recognition for the achievement of high practice standards recognized after a peer-review evaluation of the practice conducted by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field.

    Designed to be educational in nature, the ACR Accreditation Programs evaluate qualifications of personnel, equipment performance, effectiveness of quality control measures, and quality of clinical images. It is believed that these are primary factors that affect the quality of clinical images and ultimately the quality of patient care.
