Inside Clemson News National organization accredits Clemson student health center Clemson University's student health center has received accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. The Joint Commission, as it is commonly called, accredits hospitals and ambulatory care services nationwide. The accreditation process included an on-site evaluation of Clemson's Redfern Health Center by a Joint Commission survey team, said Carol Seager, the center's director. Clemson becomes one of about 25 universities in the nation with health centers accredited by the Joint Commission, including such institutions as North Carolina State University, Ohio State University and the University of Florida. Achieving accreditation demonstrates the health center's commitment to provide high-quality care to its patients.
Accreditation is voluntary for college health centers.
We knew that if we met those standards, we could say with certainty that Clemson's commitment to top-quality healthcare for our students is second to none. That's one of the reasons the staff worked so hard on this. Everybody pulled together as a team to ensure success.
