“We have been accredited by the AAAHC since 1996,” said Katrin Wesner, Rensselaer health systems manager, “and we are proud to continue to earn this level of recognition for our efforts.” Rensselaer’s commitment to maintain AAAHC certification assures quality patient care and an appropriate organizational framework.
Not all ambulatory health-care organizations undergoing the on-site survey are granted accreditation. Only 1,300 ambulatory health-care facilities across the United States have been accredited by the AAAHC.
Rensselaer’s Gallagher Student Health Center is a comprehensive accredited physician-directed program featuring an outpatient medical clinic; specialist, hospital, and pharmacy services; laboratory services; gynecological and allergy clinics; a Counseling Center; and health education and wellness programs, including the Wellness Library.
The Student Health Center is an integral part of Rensselaer’s focus on providing a high-quality student life experience, from the classroom to the residence hall and beyond.
