Women's Health Practice Achieves National Accreditation
Women's Health Practice has been accredited for three years by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), according to Suzanne Trupin, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.
Status as an accredited organization means Women's Health Practice has passed a series of rigorous and nationally recognized standards for the provision of quality health care set by the AAAHC. Over 1,300 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," said Suzanne Trupin, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., sole proprietor of Women's Health Practice. "We are pleased and proud to have our efforts recognized with this accreditation and feel our patients are the ultimate benefactors from our participation in the accreditation program".
Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by AAAHC undergo an extensive on-site, peer-based survey of its facilities and services. Not all ambulatory health care organizations seek accreditation; not all undergoing the on-site survey are granted accreditation. Among health care organizations that can seek AAAHC accreditation are ambulatory and office based surgery centers, single and multi-specialty group practices, college and university health services, dental group practices, community health centers, occupational health centers, and managed care organizations.
