WellStar Cobb and Kennestone hospitals were recently awarded accreditation for their Adult Medical Inpatient Rehabilitation Programs and Inpatient Rehabilitation Stroke Specialty Programs. This latest accreditation is the seventh consecutive three-year accreditation that CARF, the international accrediting body, has awarded to both Kennestone and Cobb.
This represents the highest level of accreditation awarded. Organizations receiving three-year accreditations undergo a rigorous peer review process and demonstrate to a team of surveyors during an on-site visit that their programs and services are of the highest quality, measurable and accountable.
“WellStar Cobb and Kennestone are extremely proud of this important accreditation,” said Vimala Nair, M.D., medical director for WellStar Rehabilitation Services. “The rehabilitation team works tirelessly and is dedicated to outstanding patient outcomes, and this accreditation is a testament to their efforts."
CARF, formerly known as the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body whose mission is to promote the quality, value and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process that centers on enhancing the lives of the persons served.
