What is AAHA?    American Animal Hospital Association

Established in 1933, AAHA is well known among veterinarians and pet owners for its standards for hospitals and pet health care.  Veterinary hospitals voluntarily participate in the AAHA hospital evaluation program.  Trained consultants regularly visit these hospitals to ensure compliance with AAHA's standards for services and facilities.  Only a very small percentage of the veterinary hospitals in the United States and Canada have met these rigorous standards required for accreditation.  Northeast Veterinary Hospital is very proud to be recognized as an AAHA Accredited Hospital.  NEVH is the only AAHA accredited veterinary hospital in Cornelia, GA.  We take pride in exceeding the AAHA published standards each and every day.
