Lakewood Hospital is pleased to announce that the Radiology Cat Scan Department received the American College of Radiology (ACR) Accreditation. This important accreditation acknowledges that the computed tomography services at Lakewood Hospital were surveyed by the ACR committee and accredited on quality and safety for both adult and pediatric patients.

In order to achieve this accreditation, the department underwent a rigorous review process and met the nationally accepted standards of care by ACR.

“This is a great achievement for our Radiology/Cat Scan Department,” said Jack Gustin, president of Lakewood Hospital. “This accreditation marks another example of how Lakewood Hospital continually strives to offer the best health care with state-of-the art technology in a community setting.”

In 2007, Lakewood Hospital installed a high-tech SOMATOM Emotion spiral whole body computed tomography scanner in addition to a current Volume Zoom CT scanner. Both scanners offer the highest quality imaging for patients.

Lakewood Hospital is the first Cleveland Clinic regional hospital to receive this impressive accreditation.

Founded in 1907, Lakewood Hospital is a 400-bed acute care hospital located in the heart of Cleveland’s Westshore communities. Lakewood Hospital offers a wide range of health services and education programs for women, men and children. Each year, Lakewood Hospital provides high-quality and innovative patient care for more than 130,000 patients. In 1997, Lakewood Hospital became part of the Cleveland Clinic Health System, a partnership between the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and nine community hospitals.
