Cunningham Children’s Home has been awarded Accreditation with Commendation from the EAGLE Accreditation Commission. Educational Assessment Guidelines Leading toward Excellence (EAGLE) is the only faith-based accreditation program in the United States and is granted by the Methodist Ministries Network.
EAGLE is a voluntary program that recognizes health and human service organizations that go beyond the requirements of licensure to improve operational processes and outcomes while pursuing excellence in holistic, Christian mission. EAGLE challenges organizations not just to compete in challenging human services environments, but to soar above the competition while living their faith values. EAGLE is ecumenical and applicable to organizations of all Christian faith traditions.
“I could not be prouder of our Cunningham team for achieving this gold standard for quality once again,” said Marlin Livingston, President/CEO of Cunningham Children’s Home.
The EAGLE Accreditation Program includes the compilation of a rigorous self-study that covers all facets of care delivery and operations followed by a site visit from a review team of independent health care and human service professionals from across the country. Designation as an EAGLE-accredited organization continues for four years, during which Cunningham will submit annual reports to ensure all accreditation standards are being met.
“We extend our congratulations to Cunningham Children’s Home for its commitment to upholding EAGLE’s principles that reinforce the importance of faith-based mission, operational excellence and responsible stewardship,” said Mary Kemper, President/CEO of Methodist Ministries Network. “We commend Cunningham’s governing board and staff for their commitment to excellence and celebrate their success.”
