AAAHC accreditation will not exempt Pregnancy Medical Clinics from laws that regulate all medical clinics. Accreditation is NOT a silver bullet, but will help assure that your PMC is operating with the highest nationally recognized standards in health care. Is the strongest protection against legal assault for a prolife medical clinic to ONLY do things legally?
Accreditation is so much more than “only doing things legally.” If our only concern as caregivers were to avoid legal assault, then stopping at “what is legal” would be enough. However, our call as Christians, and as caregivers, is to serve our patients well. The standards put in place by this nationally recognized accrediting agency assures that our clinics are not only legal, but excellent. We think both of those things matter.
