Mark Reed Health Care District Receives ACR Accreditation
Mark Reed Health Care District in McCleary, WA has been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in mammography as the result of a recent survey by the American College of Radiology (ACR).
The ACR, headquartered in Reston, VA., awards accreditation to facilities for the achievement of high practice standards after a peer-review evaluation of the practice. Evaluations are conducted by board-certified physicians and medical physicists who are experts in the field. They assess the qualifications of the personnel and the adequacy of facility equipment. The surveyors report their findings to the ACR’s Committee on Accreditation, which subsequently provides the practice with a comprehensive report.
The ACR is a national organization serving more than 32,000 diagnostic and interventional radiologists, radiation oncologists, and nuclear medicine and medical physicists with programs focusing on the practice of medical imaging and radiation oncology and the delivery of comprehensive health care services.
Mark Reed currently offers film screen mammography services at their facility. The District is in the process of sourcing funding for digital mammography which will increase the access to quality breast health services for East Grays Harbor and surrounding areas.

Mark Reed Proudly Flies Flag-
Thanks to the efforts of an Eagle scout and his troop, the Mark Reed Health Care District now has a brand new flag pole and a bright new American flag proudly displayed on its front lawn. Eagle scout Grant Munson chose to install a flag pole at Mark Reed as his final project with the Boy Scouts of America. Though Grant's troop hails from Thurston County, Grant said that he chose the Mark Reed site because his father, Dr. Kelly Munson, works in the Emergency Department at the hospital, and they both felt that it was important for the hospital to have a flag to display.
Several hospital employees and McCleary community members, including local veterans and former scouts, came out to attend the ceremony to show their support and patriotism on Memorial Day. The campus recently underwent a makeover with new landscaping, new signage and a fresh coat of paint. Yet, even with all the upgrades, one thing that was still noticeably absent on the property was an American flag so the hospital was very excited that Grant chose Mark Reed for his project.
Simpson Door Company, Bayview Building Supply, ABC Welding, The Dennis Company, Ace Hardware and Lew Rents all were recognized for contributing materials and resources to assist with the implementation of the flag pole.
