Clarion Hospital Receives Accreditation by the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program
Clarion Hospital has recently earned accreditation from the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program (HFAP). Accreditation by
HFAP demonstrates that a health care facility has met the standards set forth by HFAP to provide high quality care and compliance with governmental regulations.
HFAP, recognized nationally by the federal government, state governments, insurance carriers and managed care organizations, has been accrediting health care facilities for more than 60 years. Dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of patient care, HFAP is one of only two national voluntary accreditation programs with "Deeming Authority" from the Health Care Financing Administration of the Federal Government to accredit hospitals and their clinical laboratories.
"Clarion Hospital should be recognized for its commitment to providing quality care to its community," says George A. Reuther, AOA Director of the Division of Healthcare Facilities accreditation. "Accreditation is an important achievement for a health care facility and one that Clarion Hospital should be proud of."
Clarion Hospital, a Clarion -based acute care facility, received accreditation after surveyors measured the facility against a benchmark of hundreds of recognized standards relating to each area and function of the facility.
"We are pleased to have earned accreditation by HFAP," adds Edward J. Hannon, President/CEO. "Our facility seeks voluntary accreditation because we are committed to providing our patients with the highest quality of care, and being accredited by HFAP challenges us to attain that high level of care."
