- A thank you from Australia
- We have just read your article here in Australia. Thank you.
- Close friends of Brian and Mary are truly grateful for the care provided to Brian that has resulted in the amazing outcome we see today. Being so far away, it's difficult to offer support to Brian and Mary, but when you hear them say how good the care is, and how appreciative they are of personal support given to them during this very stressful period, you feel assured everything is, and has been, done to achieve this great result.
- The effort of his son, Sam, supported the best chance of survival to occur and something to be admired by us all. It should also encourage all of us to learn basic CPR
- From all of us in Australia, thank you Iowa!
- Cheers,
David Kemp

Cardiologists, L.C. (CLC) has once again received a three-year term of accreditation in Nuclear Cardiology by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC). The CLC nuclear cardiology program was the first in the state to achieve IAC accreditation and is celebrating 10 years of maintaining this status.- Accreditation by the IAC shows CLC has undergone a thorough review of its operational and technical components by a panel of experts. The IAC grants accreditation only to those facilities that are found to be providing quality patient care, in compliance with national standards through a comprehensive application process including detailed case study review. IAC accreditation is a "seal of approval" that patients can rely on as an indication that the facility has been carefully critiqued on all aspects of its operations considered relevant by medical experts in the field of Nuclear Cardiology.
