The importance of why NorthStar VETS stays accredited by the American Animal Hospital Association
NorthStar VETS has been a member of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) for years and was named their referral practice of the year in 2013, which is one of the highest honors in our industry, and one of the many awards we’ve received of which we are most proud. Here is the statement we made when we were named.
“Our AAHA accreditation reflects NorthStar VETS’ commitment to consistently fulfilling our purpose statement: to improve the quality of life of our patients, our clients, the family veterinarian and our staff. AAHA accreditation highlights the importance of our 5 core values: professionalism, excellence, compassion, teamwork and service. As one of the few AAHA accredited referral practices, the importance of increasing public perception regarding the sophistication of our profession is paramount to us. Incorporating referral practice standards for quality patient care raises the level of care provided; it maintains a commitment to practicing quality, state-of-the-art veterinary medicine. Maintaining our AAHA accreditation holds us accountable to that commitment. The AAHA accreditation process itself was a wonderful team-building experience and our entire staff takes great pride in our AAHA achievement. As leaders in the veterinary referral field, we hope that our accreditation will inspire other practices (referral and general) to join AAHA’s commitment to meeting the highest standards in veterinary excellence in the ever-growing and rapidly-advancing veterinary industry.”
We are working here to get re-accredited and encourage all pet owners to learn more about AAHA accreditation and why it is important to the quality of veterinary care your pet receives. To get more information, visit www.aaha.org.
