CARF International, the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, announced that Peterson Health has been accredited for a period of three years for its comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation and stroke specialty programs.
The latest accreditation is the second consecutive Three-Year Accreditation that CARF has awarded to Peterson Health.
This is amazing work, Elizabeth Johnson, Director of Rehab Services at Peterson Health, said. It is a true testament to how our units dedication to exceptional, compassionate, patient-centered care continues to shine.
This accreditation decision represents the highest level of accreditation that can be given to an organization and shows the organizations substantial conformance to the CARF standards. An organization receiving a Three-Year Accreditation has gone through a rigorous peer-review process. Peterson has demonstrated to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit its commitment to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable, and of the highest quality.
These types of results dont happen by accident, Joe Piszczor, Peterson Healths Chief Operating Officer, said. They are the outcome of our teams dedication and hard work to ensure the residents of Kerrville and surrounding communities receive the absolute best care.
