"The accreditation process is extensive, challenging and rigorous. It is an honor to receive this accreditation from the ACR," said Kendal Greco, chief nuclear technologist. "The accreditation is a result of the dedication to excellence and patient safety that our employees demonstrate every day."

ACR evaluations are conducted by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in their field. These evaluators assess the qualifications of personnel and the adequacy of facility equipment.

The ACR is a national organization serving more than 32,000 diagnostic-interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists and nuclear medicine and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.

Nash General Hospital is a part of Nash Health Care, a county-owned, not-for-profit health care system comprised of four distinct hospitals on a single campus: Nash General Hospital, Nash Day Hospital, Coastal Plain Hospital and the Bryant T. Aldridge Rehabilitation Center.
