WOOLWICH TOWNSHIP, N.J., Sept. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Saint Francis Veterinary Center of South Jersey was named Accredited Practice of the Year in North America for 2019, the veterinary profession's highest honor awarded each year to the leading accredited animal hospital in the United States and Canada by the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA).

The Accredited Practice of the Year Award recognizes the outstanding achievements of accredited veterinary practice teams and celebrates ongoing advancements in veterinary medicine. The AAHA Awards Committee evaluates each hospital team on its most recent accreditation scores, medical excellence, mission and vision, practice team composition, continuing education and training, community service and other categories of excellence.  Fewer than 12% of North America's 29,000 veterinary practices earn accreditation by AAHA. Saint Francis has been accredited for more than 25 years, reflecting a continued level of veterinary excellence rarely achieved by animal hospitals in North America.

"For all of us here at Saint Francis, we are humbled beyond words to receive this honor," said Dr. Mark F. Magazu, DVM, Founder of Saint Francis Veterinary Center of South Jersey. "We strive to provide the highest level of care for our pets at all times. This continued recognition is something that all of us will cherish for the rest of our careers."

Saint Francis has previously been a Finalist for Accredited Practice of the Year in 2012 for general medicine and in 2014 for referral medicine, making Saint Francis the only three-time nominee for the award in the industry's history.
