The on-site review team was impressed by the dedication and drive of staff to meet clients’ needs.”

“We recognize the importance of ongoing transparency, quality enhancement, and the adoption of evidence-based best practices, and we are very proud of our staff’s commitment to delivering innovative, high-quality programs and services to our community,” said Suzanne Marchand, executive director, CSC Chigamik CHC. “This accreditation not only validates our operational excellence but also underscores our commitment to effective business management and community governance.
