“Why We Re-Accredit”

AAHA accreditation isn’t a one-and-done. Every few years, we invite them back in to re-evaluate our care, our protocols, our safety practices, and more.
It’s like a report card for our hospital — and we ask for it.
Because staying accredited means staying accountable. And we’re here for that.
