Rockingham Ambulance has been Re-accreditated by the National Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services
December 18, 2006 - Rockingham Regional Ambulance, Inc. has been re-accreditated by the National Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS).
This is the second re-accreditation for Rockingham Ambulance, which became Nationally Accredited in 2000. Rockingham Ambulance remains the only commercial ambulance service in New Hampshire to have achieved this standard and was the first in New England. There are currently just over 100 ambulances services in the US that have successfully attained this benchmark.
The accreditation process includes an extensive self-assessment, an independent outside professional review, plus a 2 day on-site independent team evaluation of the organization. The on-site survey involves an examination of clinical data, patient surveys, transport and response times, business practices and adherence to protocols and procedures.
“National Accreditation is an independent and unbiased verification of our commitment to being an outstanding provider of medical transportation services”, said Chris Stawasz, Rockingham’s Executive Director. “It sets us apart from others in our field by proving that we take our commitment to excellence seriously and are willing to have that verified by an independent panel of industry professionals”, he added.
Rockingham Ambulance is New Hampshire’s largest 9-1-1 ambulance service provider. The company provides paramedic level emergency medical transportation services to the NH cities of Nashua and Manchester along with the Town of Candia. Rockingham employs over 150 medics and has a fleet of more than 30 vehicles.
Rockingham Ambulance also provides advanced and basic life support medical transportation services to hospitals and medical facilities throughout southern New Hampshire and is New Hampshire’s only Nationally Accredited commercial ambulance service. The company has provided these services since 1976 and is a member of St. Joseph Healthcare.
