 Hawthorn Medical Earns AAAHC Accreditation
March 2007
Hawthorn Medical has achieved accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC/Accreditation Association), according to James P. Tracey, MD, President, and James Gularek, CEO.
Status as an accredited organization means Hawthorn Medical has met a series of rigorous and nationally recognized standards for the provision of quality health care, set by the Accreditation Association. More than 2,600 ambulatory health care organizations across the United States are accredited by the AAAHC.
"Accreditation underscores our long-standing commitment to providing
the highest possible levels of quality care to the community we serve," commented Dr. Tracey. "We are pleased and proud to have our efforts recognized with this accreditation," added Mr. Gularek.
Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by the AAAHC undergo an extensive on-site, peer-based survey of their facilities and services. Accreditation is a voluntary process through which an organization is able to measure the quality of its services and performance against nationally recognized standards.
