Princeton, NJ, October 26, 2011 — The Council on Accreditation (COA) has announced that Jewish Family & Children's Service of Greater Mercer County has been reaccredited.

COA reaccreditation is an objective and reliable verification that provides confidence and support to an organization’s service recipients, board members, staff and community partners. The COA reaccreditation process involves a detailed review and analysis of both an organization’s administrative operations and its service delivery practices. All are “measured” against national standards of best practice. These standards emphasize services that are accessible, appropriate, culturally responsive, evidence based, and outcomes-oriented, in addition, they confirm that the services are provided by a skilled and supported workforce and that all individuals are treated with dignity and respect.

"On behalf of the Board of Directors of JFCS, I would like to express our appreciation for the success of the COA site visit and our reaccreditation. Our commitment to excellence will ensure that JFCS continues to provide superior service to the community as it has for the past 75 years," said Ms. Joyce Kalstein, President of JFCS.

COA reviews and reaccredits the entire organization, not just specific programs; therefore supporters can have confidence in the credibility, integrity and achievement of the entire Jewish Family & Children’s Service organization.
