During the week of November 2 - 6, the programs and services provided by Sunrise Health Region were reviewed by Accreditation Canada and compared against national standards of excellence.
The nine members of the survey team who toured the region are medical and health experts from across Canada with professional designations and experience at the highest levels of health care administration and planning. The surveyors reviewed extensive documentation and toured Sunrise Health Region facilities and health programs to speak with employees, physicians, volunteers, community members, and clients.
On November 6 the surveyors presented a verbal summary of their findings to health employees, physicians, and the board. The initial summary was very positive. The official report and accreditation decision will be provided to the region by the beginning of December.
