The University of Florida Small Animal Hospital has gained accreditation in both traditional and specialty areas from a national group following a rigorous review of the hospital’s practice protocols, medical equipment, facility and client service.
The designation, granted Aug. 4 by the American Animal Hospital Association, or AAHA, symbolizes the highest level of veterinary excellence, according to the association. Today, only 12 to 15 percent of all veterinary practices in the U.S. and Canada are AAHA-accredited.
In addition to becoming accredited in the traditional primary care area, the UF Small Animal Hospital is now accredited for referral services in nine specialty areas, including ophthalmology, emergency and critical care, cardiology, internal medicine, dermatology, zoological medicine, neurology, surgery and oncology.
