Digital Mammography Services receive accreditation

Thibodaux Regional Medical Center is pleased to announce that its new Digital Mammography Services have been awarded a three-year accreditation by the American College of Radiology (ACR).

Thibodaux Regional was awarded accreditation for the achievement of high practice standards after a peer-review evaluation of its services. Evaluations are conducted by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. They assess the qualifications of the personnel, adequacy of facility equipment, as well as quality assessment and improvement activities, including peer review. The surveyors report their findings to the ACR’s Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the facility with a comprehensive report.

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

Thibodaux Regional is a modern, 149-bed acute care facility. As a regional referral center, the hospital offers a broad array of inpatient and outpatient care for the people of Lafourche and seven surrounding parishes. Highly specialized services offered include Cardiology, Heart Surgery, Oncology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Rheumatology, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Pulmonology, Obstetrics, Behavioral Health, and Inpatient and Outpatient Physical Rehabilitation Services.
