SGMC Health is thrilled to announce that it has been granted a three-year accreditation from the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) for Vascular Testing, covering Peripheral Arterial Testing and Extracranial Cerebrovascular Testing. These testing procedures are critical in identifying heart disorders, strokes, and other diseases within the healthcare system.
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the United States, with one American dying every 34 seconds and over 795,000 strokes occurring annually. Early diagnosis and intervention are essential in addressing these issues. Vascular Surgeon David Hardy, MD, RPVI, FACS, emphasizes SGMC Health’s commitment to providing top-notch patient care through tailored treatments and surgeries that meet the needs of South Georgia’s community.
The IAC accreditation serves as a symbol of assurance for patients, showcasing SGMC Health’s dedication to maintaining high standards of care and continuously improving.
