Accreditation

FRTH is accredited through the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). Accreditation is a voluntary process through which an ambulatory health care organization is able to measure the quality of its services and performance against nationally recognized standards. The accreditation process involves self-assessment by the organization as well as a thorough review by AAAHC's expert surveyors who are themselves practicing health care professionals.

The accreditation certificate is a symbol to others that an organization is committed to providing high quality care and that it has demonstrated its commitment by measuring up to AAAHC's high standards. The true value of accreditation, however, lies in the consultative and educational process that proceeds the awarding of the certificate. It is the self-analysis, peer review, and consultation that ultimately helps an organization improve its care and services.
