Holy Name Medical Center has recently been granted a three-year term of accreditation in echocardiography in the area of Adult Transthoracic by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC).  "Holy Name is proud to have obtained this accreditation by such a prestigious organization," said Stephen Angeli, MD, cardiologist and director of Cardiology Services at Holy Name Medical Center.  "This illustrates our commitment to offering our patients state-of-the-art medical care and treatment."

"Holy Name Medical Center has been extremely supportive of cardiac services including the echocardiography accreditation," said David Wild, MD, medical director of the Echocardiography Laboratory and Holy Name Medical Center cardiologist.  "Patients that come to Holy Name can be confident that they are being provided with the latest in cardiology services and medical technology."

Accreditation by the IAC means that Holy Name Medical Center has undergone a thorough review of its operational and technical components by a panel of experts.  The IAC grants accreditation only to those facilities that are found to be providing quality patient care, in compliance with national standards through a comprehensive application process including detailed case study review.  IAC accreditation is a "seal of approval" that patients can rely on as an indication that the facility has been carefully critiqued on all aspects of its operations considered relevant by medical experts in the field of echocardiography.
