The University of Prince Edward Island Health and Wellness Centre has received full accreditation from Accreditation Canada. The centre was evaluated on 15 standards, including service excellence, planning and service design, infection prevention and control, and emergency preparedness. “The team has worked diligently to create a culture and primary care practice that genuinely places the patient at the heart of their care,” read the accreditation report. “The clinical team views patients as partners and, as consistently reported by patients, they go above and beyond to ensure they receive the care they need.” UPEI said that this is the first stand-alone university health centre to earn this accreditation.
