Cascade Hospital for Animals Receives AAHA Accreditation

Aug. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- [Grand Rapids, MI] — Cascade Hospital for Animals of Grand Rapids has again received accreditation following a comprehensive evaluation by the American Animal Hospital Association.

Only 15 percent of all small animal veterinary practices in the U.S. have achieved accreditation by the American Animal Hospital Association. In order to maintain accredited status, Your Animal Hospital must continue to be evaluated regularly by the association’s consultants.
“Cascade Hospital for Animals belongs to a select group of practices that are committed to meeting the highest standards in veterinary medicine,” says Anna Worth, VMD, AAHA president. “AAHA hospitals pass a stringent evaluation of over 900 standards covering patient care, client service and medical protocols. By attaining accreditation, Cascade Hospital for Animals is demonstrating its dedication to offering the best care to its patients and clients.”
Established in 1933, the American Animal Hospital Association is the only organization that accredits veterinary practices throughout the U.S. and Canada for dedication to high standards of veterinary care.
