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.

Services Division Director.
Reading Readiness
The Human Services Division participates with the Fond du Lac Head
Start, Fond du Lac Education
Division and the Cloquet School Districts to plan and implement
program activities to encourage reading readiness in young children.
Human Services staff incorporate simple strategies, such as providing
books in the medical exam rooms, in the lobbies, and as incentives, to
encourage families and children to read together.

Over 200 adults and children annually participate in foot races, baby
crawls, tug-of-war and other healthy activities. Contact the Health
