FORT MYERS, FL, Dec. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Oncology Network (AON) (OTCQX:AONC), one of the fastest-growing oncology networks in the United States, proudly announces that its specialty pharmacy has achieved reaccreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC).

Accreditation is a process through which health care organizations demonstrate compliance with national standards. ACHC accreditation reflects an organization's dedication to meeting standards that facilitate a higher level of performance and patient care.

ACHC, a nonprofit organization, has been a symbol of quality and excellence since 1986. It is ISO 9001:2015 certified and has Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) deeming authority for home health, hospice, and durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies (DMEPOS).

AON's centralized, state-of-the-art specialty pharmacy partners with physicians and pharmacists to achieve optimal clinical outcomes by providing patients with convenient home delivery of quality, safe, and effective oral cancer medications. The AON pharmacy team ensures oral oncolytics are dispensed quickly and shipped directly to patients' homes, while skilled insurance claim coordinators manage claims and connect patients to financial assistance programs.

"We are thrilled to receive reaccreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC)," said Doug Braun, AON's vice president of pharmacy. "This recognition reflects our unwavering commitment to providing the highest quality care and services to our patients. Achieving ACHC accreditation demonstrates that we meet the rigorous standards set for excellence, and we are proud to continue building trust with the communities we serve."
