It’s a high achievement for the Winchester District Memorial Hospital.
WDMH officials say the hospital has once again received accreditation with exemplary standing from Accreditation Canada.
They say this is the highest honor given by the non-profit organization and it’s the fourth consecutive time the hospital has received it.
Officials add that it’s a true reflection of their ongoing commitment to compassionate excellence, close to home.
Accreditation is a voluntary process that looks closely at the quality of care and services in health care organizations. It includes a self-assessment, an on-site visit by expert surveyors, and a detailed report.
The WDMH survey took place from Nov. 17-19 and, during the on-site visit, surveyors spoke with staff, physicians, volunteers, patients, families, community members, and board members.
