What does this mean?
Gold Seal of Approval
We achieved The
Gold Seal of Approval®
from The Joint Commission
What is the Joint Commission
Gold Seal of Approval®?
A nationally recognized distinction voluntarily earned by a select set of healthcare providers.
An organization that achieves The Gold Seal of Approval® shows its commitment to holding itself accountable to a high bar for quality and safety for those they serve.
How does an organization earn
the Gold Seal of Approval® from
The Joint Commission?
Specially trained health care professionals who are experts in their fields have visited this organization to assess their compliance to a rigorous set of Joint Commission performance standards. The standards focus on important patient, individual, or resident care and organization functions identified as essential to providing safe, high-quality care. The standards are developed with input from health care professionals, providers, subject matter experts, consumers, and government agencies.
During the review an organization is evaluated to determine if they have processes and systems in place to, for example:
provide a safe
environment for careprotect patient rights,
including privacy rightsprotect patients

Upon demonstrating they have successfully met the full set of relevant performance standards for their setting of care, The Gold Seal of Approval will be awarded.
