September 28, 2004 - Danville, Kentucky - The Pain Management Center at Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center has received re-accreditation by the American Academy of Pain Management. The re-accreditation follows an on-site survey at the Pain Management Center earlier this year.

The re-accreditation award was presented to the Pain Management Center staff at the annual meeting of the National Academy of Pain Management, held in San Antonio, Texas, on September 9. 

The re-accreditation means that the Pain Management Center has met the standards of quality directed toward improving patient care and alleviating human suffering.

"We are pleased that the Pain Management Center has achieved re-accreditation," said Barry Michael, president of Ephraim McDowell Regional Medical Center. 

"Re-accreditation acknowledges the hard work of the talented and dedicated staff to provide quality services."

The center provides pain management services to individuals who experience acute or chronic pain, including shingles as well as pain caused by automobile accident injuries, degenerative disc disease and spinal stenosis.
