ACHC is the only national health care accrediting organization started at the grass-roots level by a few home care providers endeavoring to create a viable option of accreditation sensitive to the needs of small providers.

Incorporation was accomplished in August of 1986, with the first accredited organization being awarded a certificate in January of 1987. - Read more
