NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev.   –   Mike O’Callaghan Military Medical Center (MOMMC) once again earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Hospital Accreditation in recognition of MOMMC’s commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.

seal is an outward sign of how much we value our patients and that we work to provide the highest quality of care possible.”

According to organization’s website, its mission is to improve health care by setting the highest standards for health care quality throughout the world.

“As a healthcare accreditor, The Joint Commission works with healthcare organizations across care settings to inspire safer and higher quality of care that is more equitable and compassionate,” said Ken Grubbs, DNP, MBA, RN, executive vice president of Accreditation and Certification Operations and chief nursing officer, The Joint Commission. “We commend Mike O’Callaghan Military Medical Center for its commitment to advance safety, quality, equity and compassion for all patients.”
