SHARE NOW

In what is already a big year for the hospital as it gets ready to celebrate its 100th anniversary, Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital in Penn Yan has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in computed tomography (CT) as the result of a recent review by the American College of Radiology® (ACR®).

CT scanning, sometimes called CAT scanning, is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and tailor treatments for various medical conditions.

The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded only to facilities meeting specific requirements based on 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. The findings are reported back to the facility and provides the practice with a comprehensive report that can be used for continuous practice improvement.

Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital is celebrating 100 years of meeting the community’s health care needs.
