Joint Commission Certification earned by four
St. Luke’s Hospital programs
By demonstrating compliance with The Joint Commission‘s national standards for healthcare quality and safety, St. Luke’s Hospital has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval™ in four areas.
The four disease-specific care programs include; Stroke, Total Hip and Knee and Advanced Heart Failure. Joint Commission reviewers did not identify any requirements for improvement for any of the programs.
The review of the programs took place this spring in an unannounced, on-site evaluation. The accreditation award demonstrates St. Luke’s dedication to complying with The Joint Commission’s state-of-the-art standards on a continuous basis.
