ACHC ACHIEVES ISO SYSTEM RE-CERTIFICATION

In April 2010, ACHC achieved re-certification of its Quality Management System to ISO 9001:2008. ACHC's site audit was conducted by DNV Certification Inc., a global provider of management system certification. While its registrar, DNV, performs a yearly site visit to ACHC to monitor compliance, the re-certification process entails a more comprehensive review of ACHC's processes and work systems.

Since its first audit in 2004, ACHC has maintained QMS certification to promote efficient and consistent processes to serve its customers. In addition, ISO principles provide guidelines to help ACHC understand and meet customer requirements, and to continually improve its processes.
