Accreditation Canada awards WPSHC highest possible rating for the third time in a row.

A globally recognized leader in health system evaluation, Accreditation Canada, has awarded West Parry Sound Health Centre the highest possibly rating – Accredited with Exemplary Standing under the Qmentum accreditation program, for the third time in a row.   

The decision follows a comprehensive, onsite, visit in May, that saw a team of Accreditation Canada surveyors assess WPSHC according to 22 Priority Processes within the health centre.  Using 2157 quality and safety standards, the survey team assessed every aspect of WPSHC operations.  By meeting these standards, providers can be confident that the care they are providing is aligned with best practices in the health care field.  

“WPSHC is always pleased to host representatives from Accreditation Canada,” says Donald Sanderson, CEO, “our team relishes the opportunity to share our passion for providing safe, quality, patient-centred care.  Achieving Exemplary Standing once again is an immense achievement and a credit to the dedication and talent of our staff.  We greatly appreciate the final report from Accreditation Canada, as it is always a useful tool to both illustrate and celebrate our successes and to identify opportunities in our journey of continuous quality improvement.”
