NorthBay Healthcare has earned a full three-year accreditation from The Joint Commission, the world leader in evaluating the quality and safety of care provided in more than 19,000 healthcare organizations.
In October, Joint Commission surveyors conducted an extensive on-site review of NorthBay Medical Center, NorthBay VacaValley Hospital and NorthBay Health at Home & Hospice. The review team concluded that NorthBay Healthcare facilities meet the commission’s high standards, regarded as the most rigorous in the industry.
The Joint Commission certification is recognized nationwide as a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to meeting certain performance standards. Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission seeks to continuously improve health care for the public, in collaboration with other stakeholders, by evaluating healthcare organizations and inspiring them to excel in providing safe and effective care of the highest quality and value.
