Status as an accredited organization means Colleton Ambulatory Surgery Center has passed a series of rigorous and nationally recognized standards for the provision of quality health care, set by the Accreditation Association.  Over 3,000 ambulatory health care organizations across the United States are accredited by AAAHC.

“Accreditation underscores our long-standing commitment to providing the highest possible levels of quality care to the community we serve,” said Mongell.  “We are pleased and proud to have our efforts recognized with this accreditation. Thank you to our physicians and employees who worked diligently to achieve this result.”

Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by the AAAHC undergo an extensive on-site, peer-based survey of its facilities and services.  Not all ambulatory health care organizations seek accreditation; not all undergoing the on-site survey are granted accreditation.
