𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐚, 𝐂𝐎 – (𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟖, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔) — Delta Health proudly recognizes the accomplishments of Jess Anderson, Echo Sonographer in the Cardiopulmonary Department, for her leadership and dedication in helping launch and guide the inaugural cohort of the Technical College of the Rockies’ (TCR) CAAHEP-accredited Diagnostic Medical Sonography program.
On May 20, 2026, TCR celebrated the graduation of the first class from its Diagnostic Medical Sonography program — a milestone achievement for healthcare education in western Colorado and a testament to the collaborative efforts of educators, healthcare professionals, and community partners.
“This graduation represents the culmination of hard work, commitment, and excellence by our students and faculty,” said Jessica Anderson, Diagnostic Medical Sonography Director. “We are excited to celebrate this significant milestone and the positive impact our program will have on the healthcare community.”
Anderson, who serves both as an Echo Sonographer at Delta Health and Program Director for TCR’s Diagnostic Medical Sonography program, played a pivotal role in securing accreditation through the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP). The accreditation process began with Anderson and her team developing a comprehensive self-study of the program in accordance with CAAHEP Standards and Guidelines. The self-study underwent detailed review by the Joint Review Committee on Education in Diagnostic Medical Sonography (JRC-DMS), followed by an on-site evaluation conducted by industry experts. Upon confirming the program met all required standards, the JRC-DMS recommended accreditation to the CAAHEP Board of Directors, which subsequently granted the program accreditation.
The program leadership team includes Program Director Jessica Anderson, Assistant Program Director Kassie Quigley, and Clinical Coordinator Jordyn Fairclough. Together, they have brought extensive expertise, passion, and commitment to preparing students for their future in the Diagnostic Medical Sonography field.
Delta Health congratulates Anderson, the TCR faculty team, and the inaugural graduating class for their commitment to advancing healthcare education and strengthening the future healthcare workforce in the region.
