  GALVESTON COUNTY, Texas – Coastal Health & Wellness (CHW) today announced it has earned
The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Ambulatory Health Care Accreditation by
demonstrating compliance with its nationally recognized standards. The Gold Seal of Approval® is a symbol of quality that reflects CHW’s commitment to providing safe and effective patient care. CHW underwent an unannounced onsite survey on April 26.
During the review, compliance with ambulatory care standards related to a variety of areas
including coordination of care, infection prevention and control, management of medications and patient education and training were evaluated.
“Coastal Health & Wellness is pleased to receive accreditation from The Joint Commission,” said Kathy Barroso, interim CHW executive director. “Staff have worked diligently on training and have worked together to develop and implement processes that will provide quality care to our community.” The Joint Commission survey serves as an independent audit of CHW’s commitment to continuous quality improvement. Established in 1975, The Joint Commission’s Ambulatory Health Care Accreditation Program encourages high-quality patient care in all types of freestanding ambulatory care facilities. “We commend Coastal Health & Wellness and its staff for achieving this pinnacle demonstrating a commitment to patient safety and quality,” said Michael Kulczycki, M.B.A., CAE, executive director, Ambulatory Health Care Accreditation Program, The Joint Commission. “Your passion, dedication and tenacity can ultimately improve patient care,” Kulczycki continued. “Thank you for your commitment to patient safety and entrusting The Joint Commission to assist you.” The Joint Commission’s ambulatory health care standards are developed in consultation with health care experts and providers, measurement experts and patients. The standards are informed by scientific literature and expert consensus to help organizations measure, assess and improve performance. CHW’s Texas City and Galveston clinics suspended performing dental and medical procedures that required sterilization of instruments in February following an accreditation site review by The Joint Commission earlier that month. Site review findings identified breaches in infection control related to some dental and medical procedure.The Joint Commission’s visit last month was a follow-up visit to its site review in February.
“We understand that for many of our residents, Coastal Health & Wellness is the only health care option,” Barroso said. “We don’t take that responsibility lightly. Staff are committed to
maintaining care processes for patients that are safe The Joint Commission’s visit last month was a follow-up visit to its site review in February. “We understand that for many of our residents, Coastal Health & Wellness is the only health care option,” Barroso said. “We don’t take that responsibility lightly.

Founded in 1951, The Joint Commission seeks to continuously improve health care for the public, in collaboration with other stakeholders, by evaluating
