UVA Health’s Heart & Vascular Center is one of just 46 facilities recognized nationally for their longstanding commitment to excellent heart imaging with echocardiograms, which use ultrasound waves to examine the heart’s structure and function.
The Adult Echocardiography Lab at the UVA Heart & Vascular Center has received the 25-Year Silver Accreditation Milestone from Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) Echocardiography, which accredits more than 2,800 healthcare facilities in the United States and Canada. UVA Health is one of just two health providers in Virginia to earn the 25-year accreditation award.
“Accreditation from the IAC highlights our ongoing commitment to quality improvement and evidence-based care,” said Jamieson Bourque, MD, a UVA Health cardiologist and director of UVA’s Echocardiography Laboratory. “I want to thank all the members of our echocardiography team for their hard, sustained work to produce excellent imaging that is invaluable for us to provide the best care for our patients.”
