Sacramento, California –September 20, 2016– The Sacramento Native American Health Center (SNAHC), a community health clinic, has attained accreditation and Patient-Centered Health Home (PCHH) certification by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) . AAAHC accreditation and PCHH certification distinguish the Sacramento Native American Health Center from many other outpatient facilities by confirming that SNAHC meets nationally recognized standards and provides the highest possible quality of care to its patients. AAAHC and similar accrediting organizations evaluate ambulatory surgery centers, office-based surgery centers, endoscopy centers, large medical and dental practices, student health centers, military health care clinics, and other kinds of health care facilities. “Our patients deserve the absolute best,” stated Britta Guerrero, Chief Executive Officer of SNAHC.“When you see our certificate of accreditation, you know our facility and procedures have been very closely examined and found worthy of approval. We give our patients the best care possible.” Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by AAAHC undergo extensive self-assessment and a thorough on-site evaluation by experienced physicians, nurses, and health administrators. The evaluation is consultative and educational, focusing on best practices to help improve care and services. The Sacramento Native American Health Center Inc. (SNAHC) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) Federally Qualified Health Center that enhances the quality of life of local low-income people by providing a culturally competent, holistic, and patient-centered continuum of excellent care. There are no tribal or ethnic requirements to receive care at the clinic, which accepts Medi-Cal, Denti-Cal, Visa, MasterCard, Molina Health, HealthNet, Delta Dental of California, Assurant, River City, Anthem, and Blue Cross.
