Accreditation
As of November 2023, the Penn State Altoona Health and Wellness Center once again achieved the milestone of Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) accreditation. Organizations that earn AAAHC accreditation embody the philosophy of 1095 Strong, quality every day, a transformational movement spearheaded by AAAHC to equip ambulatory leaders with the best of what they need to operate quality organizations. The three-year coverage of the accreditation allows the Penn State Altoona Health and Wellness Center to continue to review and improve the level of care afforded to our Penn State Altoona students. Congratulations to the entire Health and Wellness staff for striving to obtain and maintain this prestigious honor.
