The Valley Hospital Earns 12 Gold Seals of Approval for Patient Care
Valley holds Gold Seals of Approval for acute myocardial infarction, breast cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, colorectal cancer, heart failure, hip replacement, knee replacement, lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer, stroke, and uterine-ovarian cancer.
Earning Disease-Specific Certification in 12 clinical areas places Valley among the top tier of hospitals in the country for this Joint Commission recognition. Of particular note, Valley holds more Gold Seals of Approval in cancer care than any other hospital in the country
To earn these distinctions, Valley underwent extensive, on-site evaluations by Joint Commission reviewers. The Joint Commission is the nation’s oldest and largest standards-setting and accrediting body in health care.
“These recognitions are reflective of the quality and clinical excellence found in these programs,” said Audrey Meyers, President and CEO. “In addition, they are indicative of the overall emphasis on high-quality patient care and service that have come to be the hallmark of The Valley Hospital.”
The Joint Commission launched its Disease-Specific Care Certification program in 2002. According to the Joint Commission, it is the first program of its kind in the country to certify disease management programs.
Ten gold seals for patient care and 100 demerits for being a terrible neighbor.
Give it up #1
#1 why not give credit for a job well done and save your complaint for another time.
We should all acknowledge that the hospital received this honor despite their contention over the past seven years that care would suffer if they didn’t get their expansion. Turns out they really didn’t need it.
You’re clueless as usual.
The cancer care is performed at Luckow Pavillion in Paramus.
