East Maryland Animal Hospital has again received accreditation following a comprehensive evaluation by the American Animal Hospital Association. The evaluation includes a quality assessment review of the hospital’s facility, medical equipment, practice methods and pet health care management.

    Only 15 percent of all small animal veterinary practices in the U.S. have achieved accreditation by the American Animal Hospital Association. In order to maintain accredited status, East Maryland Animal Hospital must continue to be evaluated regularly by the association’s consultants.

    “AAHA hospitals pass a stringent evaluation of over 900 standards covering patient care, client service and medical protocols,” says Gregg Takashima, DVM, AAHA president. “By attaining accreditation, East Maryland Animal Hospital is demonstrating its dedication to offering the best care to its patients and clients.”

    East Maryland Animal Hospital, located at 529 E. Maryland Ave., has been an accredited practice member of the association since 1987 and can be reached online at www.East MarylandAH.com.
