Partners for Women's Health Receives AIUM Ultrasound Practice Accreditation

Partners for Women's Health has received renewed accreditation from the Ultrasound Practice Council of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) in the areas of gynecology and obstetrics. The practice achieved this recognition by meeting rigorous voluntary guidelines set by the diagnostic ultrasound profession. All facets of the practice were assessed, including the training and qualifications of physicians and sonographers, ultrasound equipment maintenance, documentation, storage and record-keeping practices, policies and procedures to protect patients and staff, plus quality assurance methods. In addition, the thoroughness, technical quality, and interpretation of the sonograms the practice performs were also evaluated.

Partners for Women's Health has held accreditation from AIUM for a number of years, and is now renewed for the next three years.

The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine is a multidisciplinary medical association of more than 9,200 physicians, sonographers and scientists dedicated to advancing the safe and effective use of ultrasound in medicine through professional and public education, research, development of guidelines, and accreditation.

To Our Patients: Your Anthem & Other Insurances Are Still Valid
with Us

Partners for Women's Health is an independent medical practice separate
from Exeter Hospital and Core physicians. The contract termination between
Exeter Hospital and Anthem Insurance does NOT affect us. We have our own

All of our physicians have applied for privileges at an
Anthem-contracted local hospital so that our patients are guaranteed
continued hospital coverage with their regular physicians in attendance.

We at Partners are doing everything we can to ensure that our patients'
care is uninterrupted.

Your good health and peace of mind is out first priority.
