AHI Comprehensive Wound Care Center Achieves AAAHC Accreditation for 3 Years

Philadelphia, PA, May 03, 2009 --(PR.com)-- AHI Comprehensive Wound Care Center has achieved accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC/Accreditation Association). Accreditation distinguishes this surgical center from many other outpatient surgical facilities by providing a safe work environment and the highest quality of care for its patients.

Status as an accredited organization means AHI Comprehensive Wound Care Center has met nationally recognized standards for the provision of quality health care, set by the Accreditation Association. More than 4,000 ambulatory health care organizations across the United States are accredited by AAAHC. Not all ambulatory health care organizations seek accreditation; not all undergoing the on-site survey are granted accreditation.

“ We feel that our patients will receive the best care possible in a safe and healthy environment, “ stated Patrick Stonich RN, BSN, CEO and Chief of Nursing of At Home Inc, Parent company of AHI Comprehensive Wound Care Center. “ "We believe our patients deserve the best,” stated Joseph Motto, Director of AHI. “Gaining our certificate of accreditation means that we as an organization care enough about our patients to strive for the highest care possible."

The same group of healthcare professionals that started At Home Health Services founded AHI Comprehensive Wound Care Center, a Medicare certified and accredited Home Care Agency in 2005. The family of companies provides personalized care for individuals that require care in the privacy of their homes. With over 6000 visits a year and recognized as one of the top 500 Home Care Agencies in the country, At Home knows how to treat patients and families with care and respect.

The wound center, located in center city Philadelphia at 1233 Locust Street, is open 6 days a week with evening hours. They treat acute, chronic and surgical wounds with the most advanced technology in the area. Podiatry and surgical procedures are performed in their facility by their highly trained staff of nurses and physicians. Physical and Occupational Therapy will soon be part of their treatment plans in their additional 1500 square foot outpatient rehabilitation clinic.
