Central Maine Orthopaedics understands the importance of providing quality healthcare.

At CMO, accreditation is not just about meeting specific standards. Earning accreditation means that we are providing a safe place for patient care in the community we serve; a place that the public can depend on for exceptional service, patient safety, quality and value.

Patients can feel secure knowing that CMO is reviewed and licensed by the State Department of Public Health on an annual basis. CMO is certified by Medicare and has been accredited for a three-year period by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Healthcare, Inc. (AAAHC).

The AAAHC emphasizes the educational benefits of accreditation. Its standards were developed to encourage the voluntary attainment of high-quality care in organizations providing healthcare services in ambulatory settings.

Both CMO's Ambulatory Surgery Center and Office Practice have achieved accreditation from AAAHC.

The primary goal of CMO is to ensure patients have the same services available locally as in other major metropolitan areas. CMO not only provides these services in the Lewiston-Auburn area, but has a proven track record in assuring quality satisfaction for all patient care.

Thousands of surgeries have been performed at CMO's Ambulatory Surgery Center, and surveys have proven this extremely high degree of patient satisfaction.
