The accreditation coordinator is the staff member
responsible for preparing his/her public health agency for an
accreditation survey. The accreditation coordinator also acts as a liaison
between the public health agency and the survey team during the on-site
accreditation review. Although an accreditation coordinator may or may not
be eligible to serve as an OCCHA surveyor (See Information for Surveyors
for criteria), OCCHA invites accreditation coordinators to participate in
a surveyor training session in order to learn more about the accreditation
process. In addition, OCCHA provides an orientation session for newly
appointed accreditation coordinators. If you are an accreditation
coordinator and would like more information about OCCHA or the
accreditation process, please contact Meighan Finlay at meighanfinlay@occha.org.

coordinators/contacts across Ontario:
