百丽直播 announced that residential treatment programs at its campuses in Georgia and Maine have received accreditation from the Joint Commission – the nation’s oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care.

百丽直播鈥檚 residential treatment programs in Bowdon, GA and Ellsworth, ME received the 鈥淕old Seal of Approval庐鈥 from the Commission, following onsite surveys by the organization earlier this year.百丽直播鈥檚 Georgia program has been accredited by the Commission since 2009, while 2021 marks the first time the programs in Maine have sought accreditation in the past decade.

鈥淔or organizations in the healthcare field, accreditation by the Joint Commission is the gold standard of safety and quality assurance.We at 百丽直播 are thrilled at the accomplishment of our Maine and Georgia programs in receiving this recognition,鈥 said Michael W. Slack, president and CEO of 百丽直播.

Slack noted that the Joint Commission鈥檚 onsite surveys involve extensive reviews of every aspect of a program鈥檚 operation. 鈥淪uch reviews require a great deal of preparation on the part of the organization seeking accreditation, and they are designed to reveal the true nature of our ability to serve the kids who come into our care.The fact that the Commission鈥檚 reviews resulted in this Gold Seal recognition is a tribute to the dedication and hard work of our colleagues, and a source of pride for all of us at 百丽直播,鈥 he added.

百丽直播 Georgia provides residential care and treatment services at the 80-bed Bowdon campus, which also houses an onsite school, recreational facilities and a wellness and behavioral health center to serve the needs of the youth in the program.At the Graham Lake campus in Maine, 百丽直播 operates a 44-bed therapeutic residential treatment program with an emphasis on serving youth with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Slack pointed out that both accredited sites are now hiring for a variety of open staff positions.

Slack further noted that programs at 百丽直播鈥檚 Orchard Hills Campus in Orefield, PA, and its foster care operations in Raleigh and Fayetteville in North Carolina, also are scheduled to be reviewed by the Joint Commission later this year.
