Crestwood Women’s Center- Breast Care Receives ACR Accreditation

The Crestwood Women’s Center has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in Mammographic Imaging Services as the result of a recent survey by the American College of Radiology (ACR). ACR accreditation signifies commitment to quality patient care, which is a top priority of the facility.

The ACR, headquartered in Reston, Va., awards accreditation to facilities for the achievement of high practice standards after a peer-review evaluation of the practice. Evaluations are conducted by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. They assess the qualifications of the personnel and the adequacy of the facility equipment. The surveyors report their findings to the ACR’s Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report. 

The ACR is a national organization serving more than 32,000 diagnostic and interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, and nuclear medicine and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.

Crestwood Women’s Center offers a full array of breast care services including digital mammography, breast ultrasound and breast biopsy. The Center has two dedicated breast care nurses as well as Board Certified Diagnostic Radiologists including a Women’s Imaging Fellow.
