Terrebonne General Health System is announced the reaccreditation by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) for echocardiography. Echocardiography is used to assess different areas of the heart and can detect heart disease or signs of serious conditions. There are many factors that contribute to an accurate diagnosis based on echocardiography. The training and experience of the sonographer performing the procedure, the type of equipment used, and the quality assessment metrics each facility is required to measure all contribute to a positive patient outcome.

For the 18th consecutive grading period, St. Tammany Health System’s flagship St. Tammany Parish Hospital has earned an “A” grade for patient safety for fall 2024 from the Leapfrog Group, an independent healthcare watchdog organization.
