Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission is dedicated to continuously improving the safety and quality of the nation’s health care through voluntary accreditation. When a hospital is accredited by JCAHO, community confidence in the quality and safety of care, treatment, and services is strengthened. Joint Commission standards focus on state-of-the-art performance improvement strategies that help health care organizations and provide professional advice and counsel, enhancing staff education. They also provide a framework for organizational structure and management.
The Joint Commission’s on-site surveys of Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital-Bradford occurred on April 9th and 10th, 2024. Alfred Arcidi, Senior Vice President of Whittier Health Network, called the certifications “proof of our organization-wide commitment to providing safe, high-quality care, treatment, and services on an ongoing basis.” He added that the staff of Whittier Rehabilitation Hospital-Bradford is always focused on its goal to “continuously raise quality and safety to higher levels.”
