Children’s Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent is Accredited with Exemplary Standing under the Qmentum Accreditation Program

The Children’s Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent (CTC-CK) has another reason to celebrate this year. Following the excitement of breaking ground on our new facility, we are proud to announce that we have been Accredited with Exemplary Standing after completing our Accreditation Survey in May 2025. This designation is the highest level awarded through Accreditation Canada’s Qmentum Program and demonstrates our organization’s exceptional commitment to quality, safety, and client-centered care.

Over a three-day period in mid-May, the Children’s Treatment Centre of Chatham-Kent (CTC-CK) participated in Accreditation Canada’s Qmentum accreditation program. As an independent, not-for-profit organization, Accreditation Canada sets standards for quality and safety in healthcare. CTC-CK takes part in accreditation on a four-year cycle and is assessed under standards examining Governance, Leadership, Infection Prevention and Control, and care provision practices.

“I am proud of the high level of service our staff continues to be able to provide to our community. Receiving Accreditation with Exemplary Standing validates the exceptional level of service we strive to provide each and every day,” says Donna Litwin-Makey, CTC-CK Chief Executive Officer. “I would also like to thank the families, staff, community partners and surveyors who provided feedback for our focus groups and meetings. It truly takes a team to support the best services for our families, children and youth.

The CTC-CK will continue to strengthen its efforts to build a robust and widespread culture of quality and safety. With the support of all our community partners, safety and quality care will always be a leading principle in the service we deliver to our clients and families.

The CTC-CK is very appreciative of the hard work and dedication of its staff in achieving this Accreditation Status.
