I don't know what kind of health care you're talking about. If it's therapeutic massage, then accreditation is not important. If it's just about anything else--nursing, EMT, medical assisting, lab, xray, PT--then accreditation is essential.
If you're shopping for a school, you may consider all accredited programs to be equal in terms of general quality. The one thing to consider is clinical opportunities. You'll have to do part of your course work out in real-world health care situations, and many colleges are having a hard time finding health care locations that will provide those opportunities. Locally, there are some nursing students who finish all classroom work and then have to wait 2-3 years before starting clinicals--frankly, that stinks from all directions, the student is "on hold" and when the clinicals do happen, the student has probably forgotten some of what was learned in those classrooms--bad for student, for patient, for the school, and for the health care industry in general.
So look around and get your best advantage!
If you have credentials from someplace not accredited [recognized as legit] you're wasted your time and money.
