As part of the performance-based agreement with the Central Cass County Ambulance Board, LifeCare is required to maintain CAAS accreditation. In addition to medical oversight by the Cass County Medical Control Authority, CAAS is the only external organization that assures high quality patient care and operations are provided. Robert DeVries, Chair, LifeCare's Board of Directors, said, "Accreditation is the most important external method of monitoring the quality of LifeCare's total operations and assures the nearly 200,000 residents of LifeCare's service area that they are receiving high quality care. Over 100 skilled and compassionate paramedics and EMTs deliver pre-hospital care. We are pleased that our new Cass operations are now included as part of LifeCare's totally accredited operations."

LifeCare Ambulance Service is not-for-profit, regional advanced life support company that also serves all of Branch County, Battle Creek and parts of Barry, Calhoun, Eaton, Kalamazoo, and St. Joseph Counties, a service area of 1,100 square miles. LifeCare Ambulance Service has been CAAS-accredited since 1998.
