Lutheran Services in America (LSA) creates opportunities with people in thousands of communities throughout the United States and the Caribbean as an alliance of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, and their nearly 300 health and human service organizations. Working neighbor to neighbor through services in health care, aging and disability supports, community development, housing, and child and family strengthening, these organizations together touch the lives of one in 50 Americans each year.

The Council on Accreditation (coanet.org)

The Council on Accreditation (COA) partners with human service organizations worldwide to improve service delivery outcomes by developing, applying, and promoting accreditation standards. COA envisions excellence in the delivery of human services globally, resulting in the well-being of individuals, families, and communities.

Over 1500 organizations serving more than 7 million persons are currently either COA-accredited or engaged in the accreditation process. COA has the volunteer commitment of more than 1000 Team Leaders and Peer Reviewers. It is governed by a board of 34 trustees representing a wide variety of interests and perspectives.

Headquartered in New York City, COA is preparing to further expand internationally.
