 The Cayuna Regional Medical Center in Crosby can add yet another accreditation to its profile after it was announced that the Medical Center recently received the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval. The Seal of Approval is given to medical centers who demonstrate continuous compliance with its performance standards. CRMC underwent a rigorous unannounced on-site survey in March where it was evaluated on the Joint Commission's compliance standards in areas such as emergency management, environment of care, infection prevention, control leadership and medication management. Okay, well the Joint Commission is the premier accrediting body for health care entities in the United States. They accredited about 21,000 entities and earning their Gold Seal of Approval is just validation of the quality and commitment to providing effective care here at CRMC. The Joint Commission has accredited hospitals for more than 60 years and this is Cayuna's third time being honored with the Gold Seal of Approval.
