The Carleton Place and District Memorial Hospital in Carleton Place, Ontario, has received national accreditation for its heart imaging services, ensuring local patients can receive high-quality care close to home. The announcement, made on March 16, 2026, confirms that the facility meets strict national standards for echocardiography, which is a common ultrasound used to check heart health.
This recognition comes from Accreditation Canada Diagnostics after a thorough review of the hospital’s equipment, safety measures, and medical protocols. The official certificate for these services was issued on December 18, 2025, and will remain in effect until November 29, 2029.
Residents of Mississippi Mills and Carleton Place no longer need to travel to larger cities for these specialized diagnostic tests. Brad Harrington, the President and CEO of the Mississippi River Health Alliance, stated that the achievement highlights the expertise and hard work of the local diagnostic team.
The hospital is a partner of the Almonte General Hospital through a local health alliance formed in 2016 to improve medical services across Lanark County. By meeting these national requirements, the community hospital ensures its heart imaging is as safe and accurate as the services provided at large urban hospitals.
