Joint Commission Accredited

We are accredited by the Joint Commission . What does that mean to you? Accreditation means that we have volunteered to undergo a challenging, comprehensive evaluation. We have made a significant extra effort to review and improve the key factors that can affect the quality and safety of your care.

Because Joint Commission standards are regarded as the most rigorous in the industry, organizations that choose to be accredited by the Joint Commission are committed to providing the highest level of care. The Joint Commission’s seal of approval is a clear sign that we have demonstrated compliance with the most stringent standards of performance.

A team of health care professionals from Joint Commission personally visited our facility to conduct a review and looked at how well we:

• provide a safe environment for your care
• educate you about the risks and options for diagnosis and treatment
• protect your rights as a patient, including your right to confidentiality
• evaluate your condition before, during and after diagnosis and treatment
• protect you against infection
• plan for emergency situations

The fact that we have gone through this evaluation shows an extraordinary commitment to provide safe, high quality care and a willingness to be measured against the highest standards of performance.

Accreditation is an accomplishment we’re proud of, and rightfully so. It means we have been recognized for complying with rigorous national performance standards that promote safe and quality health care. It means we’ve earned the Joint Commission seal of approval.

If anyone has concerns about the safety or quality of care provided by the hospital, they may report these concerns to the Joint Commission at (800) 994-6610.
