Bluffton Hospital cardiopulmonary department earned echocardiography reaccreditation

Area residents know that Bluffton Hospital has a big heart as it cares for its patients.

A national accreditation commission reaffirmed that fact recently.

Earlier this year the hospital received “seal of approval” for the third time affirming its echocardiography laboratory provides a high level of patient care and quality testing when diagnosing heart disease.

The hospital’s cardiopulmonary department earned echocardiography reaccreditation from the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission.
