It’s too soon to tell when Allen County Regional Hospital will again be permitted to offer mammography services. The hospital lost its accreditation in late May.

All patients who underwent mammograms between March 28, 2015, and May 19 of this year were notified in late June ACRH failed to meet “clinical image quality standards” established by the American College of Radiology, as required by the Food and Drug Administration.

As such, the FDA ordered the hospital to stop performing mammography on May 23, and notify all patients about the issue.
