Joint Commission Accreditation


Accreditation demonstrates your commitment to the compliance of rigorous standards and helps strengthen your organization’s delivery of care.

An accreditation award verifies that a health care provider meets the most rigorous quality and safety standards of care for their patients and communities.

From overnight stays to outpatient services, in-home care to laboratories, patients benefit from a provider's dedication to excellence across the continuum of care.
Achieving The Gold Seal of Approval® shows your patients and community that your organization is committed to providing the highest standard of care.
You may have already achieved accreditation, or you want to make sure your program or service is performing at a high level. Give your team the validation and recognition of earning Joint Commission certification, and show your patients you’re committed to providing consistent quality of care.
