We are excited to celebrate a major achievement for seven Vetcor hospitals that have officially earned AAHA accreditation through the AAHA Amplify Cohort. This accomplishment reflects months of hard work, teamwork, and a shared commitment to elevating patient care and strengthening hospital culture.

Earning AAHA accreditation is a significant distinction in veterinary medicine. Accredited hospitals meet comprehensive standards that guide every aspect of care, from safety and medical protocols to communication and team training. Pursuing accreditation is a commitment to continuous improvement and a powerful reflection of each hospital’s values and dedication to excellence.
The AAHA Amplify program provides a structured 24-week pathway that includes virtual learning sessions, guided modules, expert support, and team-based collaboration. The program helps hospitals build stronger systems, align around best practices, and prepare confidently for accreditation.
This marks Vetcor’s third year participating in Amplify, and we are proud to share that our pass rate remains at one hundred percent across all participating hospitals. This success is a testament to the strength of our hospitals, the leadership in each practice, and the dedication of team members who are committed to delivering outstanding care every day.
Congratulations to the seven hospitals in this cohort for this remarkable accomplishment. Your efforts will have a lasting impact on your teams, your patients, and your communities.
