Preventive Measures Strikes Gold Again: DC Success Followed by Recent PA CARF Accreditation; Exemplifying Continued Excellence

Preventive Measures announces its newest achievement of receiving another CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities) accreditation for its outpatient mental health treatment programs for adults and children and adolescents in Pennsylvania. This milestone follows the prestigious accreditation received for its Washington, DC, programs in June 2023, highlighting the organization's commitment to excellence and leadership in community care within the behavioral health sector. 

The three-year CARF accreditation affirms Preventive Measures' adherence to the highest standards of care and operational excellence, reflecting the organization's quality, integrity, and effectiveness in delivering mental health services. "This accolade from CARF, a leading healthcare accreditation body in the United States, is a testament to the relentless effort, dedication, and passion our team has devoted to exceptional healthcare delivery," said Dwayne Jones, CEO of Preventive Measures. "It not only validates our comprehensive approach to healthcare but also strengthens our mission to provide superior care to our patients." 

The rigorous accreditation process required a thorough internal review of Preventive Measures' treatment and operational practices against CARF's stringent standards, established by healthcare professionals, stakeholders, and consumers over the last fifty years. The organization underwent a detailed on-site evaluation by CARF's experts, demonstrating remarkable compliance with over 2,000 standards across 24 sections, showcasing its commitment to quality, accountability, and measurable outcomes. 

Achieving CARF accreditation enhances Preventive Measures' credibility with government regulators, funding sources, insurance companies, and referral agencies, signaling lower risk and high accountability. This recognition motivates Preventive Measures to continue striving for excellence and innovation in mental health care, ensuring that the communities it serves receive the highest level of care.
