Gulf County Health Department receives Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval

The Gulf County Health Department has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval.

The recognition is given to outpatient facilities that meet a high standard of care specific to the needs of patients, including infection prevention and control, leadership and medication management.

The seal of approval was awarded after a rigorous unannounced on-site survey earlier this month.

Marsha Lindeman, Administrator of the Florida Department of Health in Gulf County said "We recognize Joint Commission accreditation as the Gold Seal for providing safe, high quality patient care. Achieving accreditation from The Joint Commission is a team effort that will bring confidence to our patients and give us a framework to provide the best care possible.”

The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits more than 20,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States, including hospitals, home care organizations, and other health care organizations that provide long term care, behavioral health care, laboratory and ambulatory care services.
