The University of Iowa Student Health Clinic has achieved re-accreditation by the Accreditation
Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) on October 2, 2025. Accreditation distinguishes
Student Health from many other outpatient facilities through its adherence to rigorous standards of
care and safety. As an accredited organization, Student Health has met nationally recognized
standards for the provision of quality health care set by AAAHC. More than 6,100 ambulatory health
care organizations across the United States are currently accredited by AAAHC. Ambulatory health
care organizations seeking AAAHC Accreditation undergo an extensive self-assessment and onsite
survey by AAAHC expert surveyors – physicians, nurses, and administrators who are actively
involved in ambulatory care. The survey is peer-based and educational, presenting best practices to
help an organization improve its care and services. The AAAHC Certificate of Accreditation
demonstrates Student Health’s commitment to providing safe, high-quality services to our student
population. For more information, contact Todd Patterson, Director of Student Health, james-t-patterson@uiowa.edu
