Joint Commission Public Notice

Gottlieb Memorial Hospital demonstrates its commitment to providing safe, high quality care by voluntarily seeking Joint Commission accreditation—the Gold Seal of Approval. This means that Gottlieb adheres to national standards to continuously improve safety and quality.

As part of this process, the Joint Commission periodically conducts unannounced accreditation surveys of the hospital, laboratory, and home health and hospice.

The purpose of these surveys is to evaluate the hospital’s level of compliance with standards that address provision of care, safety of the environment, medication management, infection control, and more. The survey results are used to determine whether, and the conditions under which, an accreditation should be awarded to the hospital, laboratory and home health and hospice.

Should you have any concerns about the patient care and safety, we encourage you to contact hospital management. Please feel free to speak with your doctor or nurse or the nursing supervisor without compromising care. You may also e-mail hospital administration at gottliebhospital@ghr.org. If your concerns are not resolved through the hospital, you are encouraged to contact the Joint Commission at 1-800-994-6610.

As a patient, family member, community representative or employee of Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, you have the right to notify the Joint Commission regarding any concern about the quality of care provided, safety of care provided, or safety of the environment in which care is provided
