Jackson Achieves Triennial Joint Commission Accreditation

On June 21, 2021, Joint Commission surveyors arrived at Jackson Health System to conduct a triennial systemwide survey.

The onsite survey was originally expected to take place in 2020, but was postponed due to restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Using enhanced technology, observing safe physical distancing, and wearing the required personal protective equipment were part of the new process.

Although the staff had to work through these intricacies, the surveyors were were impressed by the excellent care and services provided by our world-class employees.

Joint Commission accreditation is a symbol of quality that reflects an organization’s commitment to meeting certain performance standards. The survey result is a validation of the exceptional care we provide, and highlights the role each team member plays to give our patients and visitors the best possible experience while in our facilities.Thank you for what you do each and every day.
