BRUNSWICK, Georgia: March 19, 2009 – The mammography unit at Southeast
Georgia Health System MRI & Imaging has been awarded a three-year
term of accreditation as the result of a recent survey by the American
College of Radiology (ACR).
“ACR Accreditation demonstrates our commitment to quality patient
care,” says DelRia Baisden, vice president, Southeast Georgia Health
System. “Patients can be assured that our mammography unit and our
staff have passed the ACR’s rigorous evaluation and that they will
receive the highest quality of care at MRI & Imaging.”
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 facility equipment. The surveyors
report their findings to the ACR's Committee on Accreditation, which
subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report.
MRI & Imaging is located at 1111 Glynco Parkway in Brunswick, and hours
of operation are 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday. For more information, call
912-466-5620. For more information about ACR, contact Shawn Farley at
