JFCS IS REACCREDITED BY INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION
Jewish Family & Children’s Service is proud to announce the agency has been reaccredited by the Council on Accreditation (COA). COA is an international, independent not-for-profit organization that accredits community-based behavioral health care and human service organizations. Undertaken every four years, the COA reaccreditation process involves a detailed review and analysis of JFCS’ administrative operations and its service delivery practices. Organizations are “measured” against national standards of best practice. These standards emphasize that services are accessible, appropriate, culturally responsive, evidence based and outcomes-oriented. In addition, services must be provided by a skilled and supported workforce with all individuals being treated with dignity and respect.
COA maintains the highest level of standards and quality improvement and is designed to identify providers that set high performance standards and are committed to delivering the highest quality services. Today, over 1,800 organizations – public and private are either COA accredited or are in the process of seeking accreditation.
This is the fourth time JFCS has received accreditation.
