Briargate Boulevard Animal Hospital is AAHA Accredited

We are pleased to announce that we passed our 2008 American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) review on December 16, 2008.  A limited number of veterinary clinics in Colorado Springs have achieved AAHA accreditation.  Only 15 % of clinics nationwide meet AAHA’s high standards for patient care.        

What is the purpose of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA)? 

*Enhance the abilities of veterinarians to provide quality medical care to companion animals.

*Enable veterinarians to successfully conduct their practices and maintain their facilities with high standards of excellence.

*Meet the public’s needs as they relate to the delivery of companion animal veterinary medicine.

Why is AAHA accreditation important?

AAHA is dedicated to “Healthy Practices.  Healthier Pets”.  Its purpose is to enhance, support, and cultivate a veterinary community that offers the highest level of companion animal care and career satisfaction for all practice team members.  AAHA does this by being the total practice resource, providing standards for veterinary medicine, and offering products and services that strengthen the entire practice team.

What is involved with AAHA accreditation?

AAHA sets stringent standards for patient care, medical procedures, surgery, and practice management.  There is detailed assessment of all aspects of the veterinary practice.  AAHA evaluates our records, protocols, practice facility, equipment, continuing education training, pain management/anesthetic  protocols, emergency care, and patient care. 

Our goal here at Briargate Boulevard Animal Hospital is to work together as a team to provide the highest level of care possible for your pets.  We are committed to serving you and your pets.
