“Shannon Medical Center truly appreciates CIHQ's commitment to patient safety and quality care. It is evident that the organization's goal is not to punish or undermine healthcare facilities, but rather to promote evidence-based practice standards.”

“The accreditation process with CIHQ has been extremely positive. The CIHQ team is responsive, helpful, and is a true partner in supporting our hospital. Our questions were answered, we received ample feedback and advice, and the turn-around time for response to questions is remarkably quick. We are excited to be a member of the CIHQ family and look forward to a productive and beneficial relationship in the future.”
