Quality
Bronson Methodist Hospital was granted accreditation in 2010 for its adult and pediatric Echocardiography (Echo) Lab by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories (ICAEL), marking the fifth straight ICAEL accreditation for the hospital.
This ICAEL accreditation recognizes Bronson’s commitment to high quality patient care and quality diagnostic testing to detect and manage heart disease. To receive this accreditation, Bronson voluntarily signed up for review by an independent agency.
Bronson was the first hospital in Michigan, now one of only seven hospitals in the state, to receive Pediatric Echo Accreditation and is the only hospital in southwest Michigan with Adult and Pediatric Echo Accreditation.
