Program Accreditation

Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology

Regional West Medical Center School of Radiologic Technology is accredited by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology.

The Joint Review Committee on Education in Radiologic Technology (JRCERT) is the accrediting agency for many radiography programs. The JRCERT Standards assure that a program accredited by the JRCERT maintains a high quality in education for the students as well as protecting the student and public from unwarranted or unsafe policies or practices.

Our History

On April 15, 1924, the West Nebraska Methodist Episcopal Hospital opened at the corner of 18th and Broadway in Scottsbluff. A staff of 25 welcomed the first seven patients that day.

The building was intended to be a hotel, but was never completed. With support from the Methodist Church, local businessmen and the Chamber of Commerce joined together to raise money to purchase the building for use as a hospital.
