Human Services Division Accreditation

The Human Services Division was accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, Inc. (AAAHC) in 1997. Health care organizations that have demonstrated compliance with described standards of client care and successfully passed a site survey by the AAAHC surveyor are accredited. National accreditation assures the Fond du Lac clients, the tribal council, the staff, third party payers, and other health and social services agencies that the Fond du Lac Human Services staff provide a high level of quality care. The Fond du Lac Human Services is the first tribal organization in the United States to receive accreditation by the AAAHC.
