“We discovered that people with HIV had family members who needed care,” Lerner said. “We consider ourselves a community health care center.”
She said Chase Brexton’s executive director, David Shippe, recently briefed Geidner-Antoniotti about its operations during a visit by Whitman-Walker officials to the Chase Brexton facility.
Mills said Whitman-Walker’s financial crisis last year “derailed” the Clinic’s effort to obtain accreditation from the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. The commission is run by leaders of the nation’s health care, medical equipment makers and health insurance industries to set professional standards for health care facilities such as hospitals, nursing homes and clinics.
Private insurers often require JCAHO accreditation as a condition for allowing health care providers to treat patients they insure.
Mills said many private insurers do not require JCAHO accreditation, and the Clinic would seek out arrangements with them until it obtains accreditation.
