Accreditation
Accreditation is a voluntary process through which a health care organization is able to measure the quality of its services and performance against nationally recognized Standards. Sunshine Hospital participates in this program so we can provide top care for our patients and a safe working environment for those who are a part of our staff. The Joint Commission standards provide meaningful metrics to improve the quality and patient safety in all clinical and managerial functions of acute care hospitals, as well as embrace continuous performance improvement.
