The Chatham-Kent Community Health Centres (CKCHC) have been awarded a four-year accreditation by the Canadian Centre for Accreditation (CCA).
The CKCHC proudly released a statement to celebrate, saying “the hard work, professionalism, and dedication of our staff and Board of Directors are clearly reflected in this significant achievement.”
“To be CCA Accredited is truly a seal of approval,” says Steven Brown, CKCHC’s Board Chair. “Our stakeholders can be assured that we have undergone an extensive internal and external review process that measures our practices against sector and industry standards.”
Accreditation is a process that provides assurance from a respected third-party that the accredited organization meets commonly accepted standards for good governance, management, and excellence in service provision.
This is one way the CKCHC says they demonstrate to our clients, funders and community that we are operating responsibly and providing responsive and quality services.
“One of the key benefits of participating in CCA’s accreditation program is that it promotes an ongoing culture of learning and quality improvement throughout the organization,” says Barbara Wiktorowicz, Executive Director, Canadian Centre for Accreditation. “By choosing to go through the CCA accreditation process, CKCHC is demonstrating its accountability to the community and its commitment to providing the highest quality programs and services.”
