HPMC’s Marshall Space Flight Center Occupational Health Services Clinic Receives 3 Year Accreditation

The occupational health services clinic at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Huntsville, Alabama, contracted to HPM Corporation, recently received a three year term of accreditation from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. (AAAHC).  AAAHC is one of the leading organizations committed to developing standards to advance and promote patient safety, quality and value for ambulatory health care through peer-based accreditation processes, education and research. 

As the award letter from AAAHC stated:

“Granting accreditation reflects confidence, based on evidence from this recent survey, that you meet, and will continue to demonstrate throughout the accreditation term, the attributes of an accreditable organization as reflected in the standards found in the Accreditation Handbook for Ambulatory Health Care.  The dedication and effort necessary for an organization to be accredited is substantial and the compliance with those standards implies a commitment to continual self-evaluation and continuous improvement.

The HPMC team at MSFC, led by Program Manager Mary Jones, did an outstanding job of bringing the Marshall program into “substantial compliance” with the association’s accreditation standards.  We are very proud of this significant accomplishment the team achieved.
