Chambers Health Achieves Prestigious ACR Accreditation for CT Imaging at West Chambers Medical Center
ANAHUAC, TX – August 20, 2024 – Chambers Health is proud to announce that West Chambers Medical Center has been awarded a three-year accreditation in computed tomography (CT) by the American College of Radiology (ACR). This achievement demonstrates Chambers Health’s commitment to providing the highest levels of image quality and patient safety in diagnostic imaging.
The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the pinnacle of quality in medical imaging. It is awarded only to facilities meeting ACR Practice Parameters and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. Image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs are assessed.
“This accreditation is a testament to our team’s dedication to excellence in patient care,” said Ann Newton, CEO of Chambers Health. “It assures our patients that when they come to West Chambers Medical Center for CT scans, they are receiving care that meets the highest standards of image quality and safety.”
The accreditation covers CT imaging for both adult and pediatric patients in the areas of the abdomen, chest, and head/neck, utilizing the state-of-the-art Canon Medical Systems Aquilion Prime SP 2023 unit.
Chambers Health also recognizes the vital role of community support in achieving this milestone. The Dan L Duncan Foundation’s generous donation in June 2023 was instrumental in acquiring the advanced CT technology that contributed to this accreditation.
“We are deeply grateful to the Dan L Duncan Foundation for their support,” added Stacey Brown, Marketing & Business Development Director. “Their commitment to improving healthcare in Chambers County has directly impacted our ability to provide cutting-edge diagnostic services to our community.”
