There was also a stringent assessment of Advanced Health’s human resources operations.
“Joint Commission accreditation provides behavioral health care organizations with the processes needed to improve in a variety of areas related to the care of individuals and their families,” said Tracy Griffin Collander, LCSW, Executive Director of the Joint Commission’s Behavioral Health Care Accreditation division. “We commend Advanced Health and Education for its efforts to elevate the standard of care it provides and to instill confidence in the community it serves.”
