Cooper University Health Care’s Vein Center in Voorhees has been granted accreditation by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) in Superficial Venous Treatment and Management.
Dr. Francis Spitz, chairman and chief of Cooper’s department of surgery, said the accreditation is a significant achievement.
“It is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our team in providing exceptional care for our patients,” he said. “We are proud to be recognized by such a respected body and are honored to offer our patients the assurance of quality care that this ‘seal of approval’ represents.”
More than half of Americans aged 50 and older are affected by varicose veins, a condition where blood pools in the leg veins due to malfunctioning valves. This can progress to chronic venous insufficiency in some cases. The treatment of varicose veins requires specialized evaluation and management, and the IAC accreditation ensures that Cooper University Health Care meets the rigorous standards for quality care.
The IAC accreditation process includes a detailed self-evaluation and a thorough review by a panel of medical experts, assessing both operational and technical components of the facility. This rigorous review ensures that the facility adheres to published standards and provides quality patient care.
