Accreditation USF Student Health Services is thrilled to announce in February 2011, we earned a threeyear accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), the highest award possible! This was an important milestone in the continuing growth and success of our health clinic and for USF. Accreditation shows our commitment to providing the highest levels of quality care to our patients and the same high level of conduct in our business practices. Accreditation by AAAHC is proof of this commitment and signifies that we have met the rigorous standards of a nationally recognized third party. We are proud to have met the challenge of accreditation and intend to consistently uphold the principles of quality improvement and patient care in the future. When you see our certificate of accreditation, you will know that AAAHC, an independent, not for profit organization, closely examined the clinic and all our procedures. The certificate is the proof that we care so strongly about our patients that we truly strive to provide the highest care possible. 5 Student Health Services
