Kirkland, WA. November 12, 2013 – Direct Radiology (DR), LLC is proud to announce that it has been awarded Joint Commission accreditation as of November 11, 2013.
The Joint Commission is a non-profit organization that accredits hospitals and other health care organizations across the United States. The Joint Commission strives to “continuously improve health care for the public by evaluating health care organizations and inspiring them to excel in providing safe and effective care of the highest quality and value.”
