Sibley Memorial Hospital has earned a “Gold Seal of Approval” for hospital accreditation from a national nonprofit that assesses the quality of hospitals and other health care organizations.
The Joint Commission, which has been accrediting hospitals for over 60 years, conducted an unannounced site visit at Sibley in October, evaluating compliance with standards in numerous areas, including emergency management, environment of care, infection prevention and control, and medication management.
“Sibley is pleased to receive accreditation from The Joint Commission, the premier health care quality improvement and accrediting body in the nation,” said Sibley president Richard “Chip” Davis.
The Presidential Healthcare Center offers facilitate access throughout the Johns Hopkins Sibley Memorial Hospital campus, where construction of the new hospital is progressing rapidly.
