To earn this three-year accreditation, health care organizations must demonstrate compliance with national standards. Adirondack Health earned its accreditation after ACHC completed a three-day survey of its organization.

“This accreditation means that Adirondack Health patients are receiving quality care close to home,” Adirondack Health CEO Aaron Kramer said. “Patients can trust that Adirondack Health provides comprehensive and unparalleled care with a personal touch.”

Accreditation by ACHC reflects an organization’s dedication and commitment to meeting standards that facilitate a higher level of performance and patient care.

ACHC is a nonprofit organization, is ISO 9001:2015 certified and has CMS deeming authority for Home Health, Hospice and DMEPOS. ACHC also has deeming authority for Acute Care Hospitals, Critical Access Hospitals, Ambulatory Surgery Centers as well as Clinical Laboratory.
