Baptist Health Richmond achieves accreditation with ACHC

RICHMOND, KY (January 15, 2025) – Baptist Health Richmond proudly announces it has achieved accreditation through Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC), a nonprofit organization that has stood as a symbol of quality and excellence since 1986 and recognized by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS).

Accreditation is a process through which healthcare organizations demonstrate compliance with national standards. Accreditation by ACHC reflects an organization’s dedication and commitment to meeting standards that facilitate a higher level of performance and patient care.
