(ECRMC Accreditation)…It is from the American College of Emergency Physicians.

El Centro Regional Medical Center was awarded the Geriatric Emergency Department Accreditation. The hospital says as the population continues to live longer, it is important that older adults receive well-coordinated quality care. The census estimates over 23,000 in Imperial County are over the age of 65. ECRMC received Level Three Accreditation in February of this year, meeting or exceeding all requirements established by the American College of Emergency Physicians. Level Three Accredited facilities have one or more specific initiatives that reasonably elevate the level of care for seniors in specific areas.
