Heart Clinics Northwest Echo Cardiology Labs Accredited by ICAEL


Heart Clinics Northwest (HCNW) is proud to announce that our Echocardiography Laboratory was granted accreditation by the Intersocietal Commission for the Accreditation of Echocardiography Laboratories (ICAEL) as meeting or exceeding all of their standards. Obtaining ICAEL certification is an arduous but voluntary task, as it is not yet required in the states of Washington or Idaho, but we at HCNW continue to demonstrate our commitment to quality and excellence by achieving such a goal. HCNW has two echocardiography laboratories in Spokane, Washington, and one in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
