This accreditation recognizes labs that provide a high level of patient care and quality testing when diagnosing heart disease.

First accredited in 2005, BVH received reaccreditations in 2008, 2011 and 2014. Bluffton Hospital was first accredited in 2008 and received reaccreditations in 2011 and 2014. The accreditation is valid for three years.
