JOINT COMMISSION
 Accreditation
The Joint Commission accredits SwedishAmerican Health System: SwedishAmerican Hospital, SwedishAmerican Medical Center/Belvidere, SwedishAmerican Medical Group and Home Care.
Joint Commission accreditation means that a hospital voluntarily sought accreditation and met national health, quality and safety standards. The Joint Commission conducts on-site surveys to review the hospital’s medical and nursing care, physical condition, life safety program, special care units, pharmacy services, infection control practices and other areas that affect patient care.
At SwedishAmerican, we understand how important reliable information is to you and your family when making healthcare decisions. Visit the Joint Commission Web site to learn more about quality and safety in healthcare.
