Toronto (Jan. 21, 2002) - In its first survey ever, Toronto Rehab has been awarded a three-year accreditation - the highest available award - from the Canadian Council on Health Services Accreditation. This places the hospital among an esteemed group of fewer than half of all organizations surveyed across Canada to receive full accreditation. During a site visit last May, the council's survey team met with staff, patients and partner organizations to see how well Toronto Rehab measures up to nationally set quality standards. The final report offered a very positive account into life at Toronto Rehab.
Among the surveyors' comments:
- patients expressed a deep satisfaction with the quality of care;
- Toronto Rehab is supported by an enviable cadre of experienced scientists and research staff;
- and the organization has established a reputation for being a centre of learning.
The next survey is scheduled for 2004.
