The Children’s Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent (CTC-CK) has been awarded Accreditation with Exemplary Standing — the highest possible rating through Accreditation Canada’s Qmentum Program.
The designation follows a three-day accreditation survey completed in May, which assessed the centre’s performance in areas including governance, leadership, infection prevention and control, and care provision practices.
“I am proud of the high level of service our staff continues to be able to provide to our community,” said Donna Litwin-Makey, CEO of CTC-CK. “Receiving Accreditation with Exemplary Standing validates the exceptional level of service we strive to provide each and every day.”
Accreditation Canada is an independent, not-for-profit organization that sets national standards for quality and safety in health care. The accreditation process is conducted on a four-year cycle.
“I would also like to thank the families, staff, community partners and surveyors who provided feedback for our focus groups and meetings,” Litwin-Makey said. “It truly takes a team to support the best services for our families, children and youth.”
The news comes as the centre celebrates breaking ground on its new facility. The organization says it will continue to prioritize safety and quality care in its services, supported by staff and community partners.
