History

In 2008, Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation Centre achieved the highest level of recognition by becoming the first clinic in Ontario to achieve accreditation by both the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) and the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF).

A facility holding these prestigious designations has demonstrated an interest in and commitment to establishing and maintaining high standards of physiotherapy and rehabilitation practice. When an organization is accredited, the public is assured that you are committed to continually improving the quality of your services and your organization's focus is on service outcomes, customer feedback and satisfaction. It demonstrates that you offer a higher degree of internal quality.

Having this designation is an important asset in the rapidly changing health care field. Health and auto insurance companies have stated that in the future they will only refer their clients to accredited facilities. The Workplace Safety and Insurance Board has also indicated that they will be seeking accredited clinics for injured workers.
