Is Antelope Valley Hospital an accredited hospital?
Yes. The Joint Commission accredits Antelope Valley Hospital. The Joint Commission is an independent, not-for-profit organization, established over 50 years ago. A board that includes physicians, nurses, and consumers governs The Joint Commission. The Joint Commission sets the standards by which health care quality is measured in America and around the world by evaluating the quality and safety of care for more than 16,000 health care organizations. To maintain and earn accreditation, organizations must have an extensive on-site review by a team of Joint Commission health care professionals, at least once every three years. The purpose of the review is to evaluate the organization’s performance in areas that affect your care. Accreditation may then be awarded based on how well the organizations met Joint Commission standards.
