IMC Lab Excellence: Reaccreditation Survey

May 13, 2026

Iberia Medical Center’s Laboratory recently underwent a comprehensive three-day survey by the College of American Pathologists (CAP) and received reaccreditation.

Recognized for its rigorous standards, CAP accreditation elevates quality and helps laboratories contribute to improved patient outcomes.

During the recent CAP accreditation process, designed to ensure the highest standard of care for all laboratory patients, inspectors examined our laboratory’s quality control, testing protocols and compliance with accreditation standards. CAP inspectors also examined laboratory staff qualifications, equipment, facilities, safety program and record, and overall management. These reviews helped to verify the laboratory’s operational performance and reflect the most recent best practices.

Surveyors were impressed with lab processes and efficiencies, and made additional positive comments about their entire experience while at Iberia Medical Center.

Congratulations to the pathology and laboratory medicine team for this significant accomplishment that further demonstrates our commitment to high-quality patient care, patient safety and best practices.

Whether working with a brand-new graduate or a seasoned nurse with decades of experience, Ms. Mary meets them exactly where they are offering thoughtful guidance, practical education, and unwavering support.

She has an incredible ability to anticipate the needs of nurses, ensuring they are equipped with the knowledge and confidence necessary to provide exceptional care to our community. As a caregiver herself, she has built meaningful, lasting relationships with patients and families—so much so that many ask for her by name. Her impact reaches far beyond education; it touches the heart of our community.

Any project at IMC is strengthened by Ms. Mary’s involvement. She is the very definition of a “Yes, I can” leader—approaching every initiative with positivity, dedication, and a genuine desire to see it succeed.

She willingly volunteers, supports clinical leaders, strengthens policies and processes, and ensures every detail is handled with excellence.

Ms. Mary is the definition of a model IMC employee and a shining example of a true leader. Nursing at IMC is better because of her, and she is more than deserving of recognition as a STELLAR award recipient.

This award is dedicated to our clinical personnel who consistently demonstrate excellence in patient care, embodying the highest standards of professionalism, compassion, and expertise.
