Union Hospital Association is accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations. Accreditation means that Union Hospital has demonstrated compliance with national standards for patient safety and quality of care.
 
Union Hospital Association is genuinely concerned about performance improvement and patient safety. In response, the Board of Trustees and Administration have made the decision to invite the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations to conduct a full survey of both the Hospital and Home Care organizations.
 
Philosophically, Union Hospital views survey not as a one-time “inspection” of compliance with standards but rather a continual learning experience. We embrace the opportunity to have key processes validated and welcome recommendations for improvement.
 
Any recommendations for improvement or consultative advice that occurs as a result of survey are taken seriously. Proactive steps are initiated in concert with management, staff, and the medical staff under full view of the Board of Trustees.
