At the most recent accreditation survey in February 2019, Northern Maine Medical Center earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Hospital Accreditation by demonstrating continuous compliance with performance standards. The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects NMMC’s commitment to providing safe and effective patient care. NMMC has earned national accreditation from The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals since 1962. The accreditation status keeps us aligned with our mission to provide outstanding care. It also benefits us by keeping our staff and our organization on top of the latest trends in health care quality.
Hospitals participating in The Joint Commission’s accreditation process receive expert assistance and support from individual account executives and standards implementation and patient safety experts. Joint Commission certified surveyors provide a rigorous evaluation of the hospital’s patient care processes and helpful expert advice on how to improve.
