Northeast Radiology Receives Accreditation, Accolades From American College of Radiology

SOUTHEAST-BREWSTER, NY - From Northeast Radiology: Northeast Radiology’s centers are the first in the greater-Danbury area to be awarded the elite distinction as a Diagnostic Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. This one-of- a-kind new program recognizes a practice which demonstrates the next level of imaging safety, efficiency and quality care. This designation acknowledges excellence at multiple levels—including our professional staff, advanced technology in both our diagnostic equipment and IT integrations, as well as the policies and procedures the organization follows. This classification indicates that Northeast Radiology has gone beyond the norm of accreditation to achieve a national standard of excellence and gain recognition for best-quality imaging practices and diagnostic care.

The Diagnostic Imaging Center of Excellence award validates the Northeast Radiology mission of providing compassionate care and medical excellence at a fair price.”
