It is not enough for us to be the best Hospital we can be; we want you to be the best consumer of healthcare that you can be. There are many ways to measure a hospital's quality of care. No standards are more demanding than an evaluation by the Joint Commission.

In 2008 and again in 2010, The Chester County Hospital received Gold Seals of Approval™ for healthcare quality from the Joint Commission in not just one, but six different clinical areas:

• Stroke
• Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack)
• Heart failure
• Hip replacement
• Knee replacement
• Wound care

But, the Joint Commission doesn't just help hospitals become better healthcare providers. It also can help you become a better healthcare consumer - by giving you the information you need to judge hospitals for yourself. You will find it all on the Joint Commission's own website at www.JointCommission.org.
