ACCREDITATION
“We are accredited by COA.”
For a community-based social service organization such as Summit CommunityServices Society, the simple statement “we are COA accredited” tells you a great deal about who we are and what we stand for.
COA accreditation is both a significant achievement and a powerful promise. It means that we have met rigorous, internationally recognized standards of excellence – in the quality of our services, as well as the quality of our management.
What Our COA Accreditation Means to You
Our accreditation was achieved under the thorough examination of COA- the leading accreditor of social service organizations in the world. COA accreditation provides you with these important advantages:
*Assurance of the credibility of our programs and services.
*Confirmation of our integrity as an organization.
*Confidence in the quality of the services we deliver and in our dedication to continuous achievement.
In short, COA accreditation is an objective, reliable and ongoing verification that we are an organization that you can trust and rely on. It is one more way that we are demonstrating our commitment to providing you with the very best services.
About COA, the Council on Accreditation
Recognized as one of the world’s leading advocates for quality and social and behavioural healthcare services, COA strives to help organizations grow and become stronger by fostering compliance with strict governance, management, and service standards.
COA accreditation involves more than just the review of specific programs or services. In fact, it has the power to transform an entire organization while focusing on critical areas such as Governance, Continuous Quality Improvement, Fiscal Management, Human Resources, and Service Delivery and Planning. Today, more than 1,600 leading private and public organizations throughout North America have sought COA accreditation. Each enjoys the benefits of public recognition and peer credibility, organizational and operational integrity, and the structure and process for the achievement of strategic goals.
