Echocardiography services offered through North Oaks Health System have been reaccredited for three more years by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC). North Oaks has held IAC accreditation since 1999.
Locations include North Oaks Cardiology Clinic and North Oaks Heart Health Center, which is located within North Oaks Medical Center.
“Echocardiography is a type of ultrasound used to detect heart disease or signs of other serious conditions, such as stroke,” explains Dr. James Parker, cardiologist and medical director of echocardiography services at North Oaks. “The training and experience of our technologists, the type of equipment used and the quality assessment metrics we are required to track all contribute to positive patient experiences.”
