Mt Pleasant Hospital Receives Accreditation

Dr Rock Vali of Mt Pleasant Hospital for Animals announced on May 17 that the hospital has received accreditation following a comprehensive evaluation by the American Animal Hospital Association. The evaluation includes a quality assessment review of the hospital’s facility, medical equipment, practice methods and pet health care management.

Only 15 percent of all small animal veterinary practices in the US have achieved accreditation by The American Animal Hospital Association. In order to maintain accredited status, Mt Pleasant Hospital for Animals must continue to be evaluated regularly by the association’s consultants.

“Mt Pleasant Hospital for Animals belongs to a select group of practices that are committed to meeting the standard of veterinary excellence,” says Gregg Takashima, DVM, AAHA president. “AAHA hospitals pass astringent evaluation of over 900 standards covering patient care, client service and medical protocols. By attaining accreditation, Mt Pleasant 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 US and Canada for dedication to high standards of veterinary care. Approximately 3,200 AAHA-accredited practices pass regular reviews of AAHA’s stringent accreditation standards that cover patient care, client service, and medical protocols.
