What does AAHA Accreditation mean to you and your pets?

In the United States, all hospitals that serve people with Medicare must be accredited through an accrediting body.  This means they must undergo regular reviews and quality checks to ensure they meet standards of quality for every aspect of medical care.  You might be surprised to learn that the same is not true for veterinary hospitals. When it comes to pet health care, accreditation is voluntary.  The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) is the only organization that accredits veterinary hospitals in the United States.  Nationally, only 15% of veterinary hospitals are accredited.  In the Winston-Salem area, only 6 out of more than 40 veterinary hospitals have earned AAHA Accreditation.

AAHA accreditation is a trusted sign of excellence. It shows that veterinary professionals are knowledgeable, equipment is well maintained and updated, medical procedures are cutting-edge, and facilities deliver high quality veterinary care. Practices are evaluated against a pool of more than 900 standards that represent best practices in veterinary care and hospital management. A national taskforce of veterinary professionals created and continually updates the standards to reflect the latest developments and improvements that are essential to excellent patient care.

Oldtown Veterinary Hospital has maintained AAHA accreditation continuously since 1969, but re-accreditation is not guaranteed.  To maintain accredited status, we voluntarily undergo comprehensive on-site evaluations about every three years.  This ensures that every AAHA-accredited practice represents the most current thinking about what constitutes the best health and medical care for pets.

It takes an extra effort, but we are dedicated to providing extraordinary care for pets and their owners. With AAHA accreditation we know and you know that your pets are in great hands.
