On June 11th, Solacium's Alldredge Wilderness Journey became one of the first wilderness programs in the country to receive a comprehensive accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
Known for its rigorous process and standards, JCAHO accreditation is most commonly associated with hospitals and clinics. Alldredge's commitment to the highest national standards for safety and quality of care was recognized by JCAHO as it received full accreditation for all services surveyed.
"JCAHO accreditation highlights our absolute commitment to excellence", commented Hunter Powell, Executive Director of Alldredge. "I am very proud to be part of a team that is so dedicated to providing quality and effective treatment to the students and families we serve."
