Casa Colina earns top accreditation
The Accreditation Committee of the College of American Pathologists (CAP) has awarded accreditation to Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare Laboratory, Pomona, California, based on results of a recent on-site inspection as part of the CAP’s Accreditation Programs.
Casa Colina’s president and CEO, Felice L. Loverso, PhD, was advised of this national recognition and congratulated for the excellence of the services being provided. Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare Laboratory is one of more than 7,600 CAP-accredited facilities worldwide.
“We could not be more proud of our pathologist, clinical lab scientists, for once again achieving this esteemed accreditation from the College of American Pathologists,” said Felice L. Loverso, PhD., president and CEO of Casa Colina Hospital and Centers for Healthcare.
The U.S. federal government recognizes the CAP Laboratory Accreditation Program, begun in the early 1960s, as being equal-to or morestringent-than the government’s own inspection program.
During the CAP accreditation process, designed to ensure the highest standard of care for all laboratory patients, inspectors examine the laboratory’s records and quality control of procedures for the preceding two years. CAP inspectors also equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management.
ACCU promotes financial literacy
America’s Christian Credit Union (ACCU) in April promoted youth saving.
ACCU works to increase awareness and provide a fun avenue for kids to save money. The response is proof that the month long campaign, deposits made by current members under the age of 12 years old increased by 60 percent and the number of new saving accounts doubled, as compared to monthly norms.
ACCU partnered with the Credit Union National Association to promote youth
The campaign, “Wild about Savings,” was themed around an African safari. Young members were encouraged to make deposits during the month, and some were randomly selected to win one of an assortment of prizes.
The branches promoted the theme, and provided some goodies for the youngsters, including free coloring books and literature.
“It’s never too early to start educating our youth on the importance of good stewardship,” ACCU President and CEO Mendell L. Thompson said.
