The Puyallup Tribal Health Authority (PTHA) was the first ambulatory health clinic in 1976 to enter into a 638 “self-determination” contract with the Indian Health Service. As a 501(c) 3 organization chartered by the Puyallup Tribe, PTHA has demonstrated commitment to quality through national accreditation by Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) and Commission on Office Laboratory Accreditation (COLA).
The AAAHC accreditation certificate is a symbol that an organization is committed to providing high-quality health care that it has demonstrated that commitment by measuring up to the Accreditation Association’s high standards. COLA accreditation is given only to labs that apply rigid standards of quality in day-to-day operations, demonstrate continued accuracy in the performance of proficiency testing, and pass a rigorous on-site laboratory survey.
