This accreditation represents the highest level that can be awarded to an organization and shows PARC's substantial conformance to the CARF standards.

This accreditation extends through May 2011 and supports PARC's continued dedication and commitment to improving the quality of the lives of the persons with developmental disabilities that we serve.
