AAHHS’ accreditation program, launched in March, is customized for rural hospitals, critical access hospitals and hospitals with less than 200 beds.

“The AAHHS hospital accreditation program fills a void in the marketplace for a cost-effective system that helps small, rural hospitals ensure the organization is adopting best practices and delivering excellent patient care,” said Meg Gravesmill, vice president and general manager of hospital operations for AAHHS.

The program involves a peer-based survey process. Learn more about the program here.
