Cardiology
Accredited Echocardiogram Services
In 2016, Our Echocardiography laboratory at Lawrence Location has successfully been accredited by Corhealth Ontario, a support system to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care that is dedicated to improving quality in the delivery of adult cardiac services in Ontario. We are proud to have met the challenge of accreditation, and intend to consistently uphold the principles of quality improvement and cardiac care in the future.
This is an important milestone in the continuing growth and success of our health care organization. We would like to thank our administrators, medical staff, cardiologists, medical & technical director for their tremendous help during this process. We also especially thank our referring physicians for the continuous support. This gives reassurance and confidence to our referring doctors and patients that we have excellent images, dedicated professionals, and a well-equipped facility to provide quality patient care that demonstrates our commitment and passion.
