HCCA Receives Gold

Gold Seal ofApproval

US Joint Commission of Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations has awarded the much coveted GOLD SEAL OF APPROVAL and Certification to HCCA International.

HCCA International, a US employer of Filipino nurses, with its home office in Franklin Tennessee and offices in Philippines, the UAE and the UK, has just been recognized and honored by The Joint Commission with the coveted Gold Seal of Approval and Certification for its recruitment standards and employment program. The Joint Commission is responsible for the accreditation of US healthcare organizations, including US hospitals.

The Joint Commission's Certification program requires independent, comprehensive evaluation of a company's ability to provide competent health care professionals and services to JCAHO hospitals, and a company's ability to structure a program which routinely monitors and maintains high quality services to the hospital. It requires site visits by the Joint Commission and ongoing reviews of policies, procedures, and actual practices of the nominated company.

"Certification recognizes HCCA's dedication to providing qualified internationally experienced nurses who provide safe, high-quality care to patients," says Ron Marston, HCCA's President and CEO "We're proud to receive the Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval."

"It is certainly a great honor to be recognized and certified by The Joint Commission", said Joseph J Gilinsky, HCCA International's VP & Managing Director of the Asian Pacific and Middle East Regions. Our nurses are arriving in America and are being recognized for their excellent bedside care and safe practice. As a result, many are being promoted more quickly and our client hospitals are overwhelmingly impressed with the quality of HCCA's International nurses. The award underlines our commitment to excellence and recognizes the professionalism and standardization in the way our nurses have been screened, employed and deployed to the United States."

HCCA International has matched more than 30,000 health care professionals with health care facilities around the world over the last 33 years and has managed more than 40 health care operations with more than 7,500 beds on five continents including past projects such as the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Singapore General Hospital, Brazil's AMICO HMO, and Panama's Centro Medico Patilla. HCCA International currently represents 50 tertiary medical facilities from California to Florida in the United States.
