The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) announced that Tallgrass Surgical Center has been accredited by their organization. Accreditation is a voluntary process through which an organization is able to measure the quality of its services and performance against nationally recognized standards. The accreditation certificate is a symbol that an organization is committed to providing high-quality health care and that it has demonstrated that commitment by measuring up to the Accreditation Association's high standards.

“We are very excited about this accreditation,” said Nancy Henry, Administrator for the Tallgrass Surgical Center. “This is a tremendous honor and recognition for our ongoing commitment to provide the highest level of health care.”

To achieve accreditation, Tallgrass Surgical Center underwent an extensive on-site, peer-based survey of its facilities and services. Not all health care organizations undergoing the on-site survey are granted accreditation.
