 Bloomington Regional Rehabilitation Hospital has been awarded The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Stroke Certification Accreditation, marking a significant milestone in the hospital’s commitment to providing high-quality, specialized stroke rehabilitation to patients.
The Gold Seal is a widely recognized symbol of excellence, awarded to organizations that demonstrate continuous compliance with performance standards. The hospital earned the award after a rigorous on-site review by Joint Commission experts who evaluated compliance with stroke care. The evaluation assessed the hospital’s compliance with stroke care standards across key areas, including nursing care, therapy services (physical, occupational, and speech), physician management, environment of care, pharmacy and medication management, case management, patient rights and responsibilities, patient education, dietary and nutritional services, and hospital leadership. “We’re proud to achieve this accreditation for our stroke program,” says Jeff Stultz, CEO of Bloomington Regional Rehabilitation Hospital. “This certification highlights our team’s dedication to delivering comprehensive rehabilitative care to stroke patients, helping them recover and integrate back into their communities while reducing the risk of experiencing another stroke.”
