Traditions Health (jointcommission.org) announces that each of its 117 branches has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Hospice and Home Health Accreditation by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards.
This prestigious Gold Seal of Approval® is a hallmark of quality in healthcare, indicating that Traditions Health meets the highest standards of quality and safety and reflects a commitment to delivering safe and quality care to patients.
To achieve Joint Commission accreditation, all Traditions Health branches underwent a rigorous, unannounced onsite review.

The Joint Commission’s standards are developed in consultation with healthcare experts and providers, measurement experts and patients. They are informed by scientific literature and expert consensus to help healthcare organizations.
“As a healthcare accreditor, The Joint Commission commends Traditions Health for its notable accomplishment of achieving Hospice or Home Health Accreditation for 100 percent of its branches. Its exceptional commitment to advancing patient safety, quality healthcare and compassion for all patients distinguishes Traditions Health as a leader in home- based care,” says Ken Grubbs, DNP, MBA, RN, executive vice president of accreditation and certification operations and chief nursing officer, The Joint Commission.
