Matagorda Regional Medical Center Awarded Reaccreditation by The Joint Commission, the Gold Standard in Healthcare Safety and Quality
As we carry the gratitude of Thanksgiving into the weeks ahead, I want to take a moment to recognize and congratulate our dedicated hospital staff for their unwavering commitment to providing high-quality healthcare services to our community. I’m proud to announce that Matagorda Regional Medical Center (MRMC) has been awarded reaccreditation by The Joint Commission, which is a prestigious honor that stands as the gold standard in healthcare quality and safety across the nation. With fewer than 16% of rural hospitals in the Lone Star State achieving this status, this reaccreditation reflects MRMC’s commitment to excellence and patient safety.
Earning Joint Commission accreditation requires our physicians, nurses, and entire hospital staff to work together to meet rigorous national standards for quality and safety. This achievement involves countless hours of refining patient care protocols, enhancing safety procedures, providing training, thorough documentation, and ensuring compliance across every department. The leadership team at MRMC is extraordinarily proud of and thankful for the dedication to continuous improvement and excellence that made this possible.
Our community benefits tremendously from these efforts, and we’re honored to serve you and your family in alignment with the highest standards. Accreditation by the Joint Commission means that our hospital:
• meets national standards for patient safety and quality,
• prioritizes a culture of safety and best practices to support patient wellbeing,
• provides efficient, patient-centered care,
• is committed to ongoing improvement, and
• meets important federal standards to maintain critical funding and resources.
Each member of our team strives daily to embody our mission of providing quality and compassionate care, and we work toward that mission in ways that keep us united. Together, we are MRMC, and I invite you to join me in congratulating and supporting our local care teams on this achievement as they continue to provide excellent care with integrity, quality, and heart.
Sincerely,
Warren Robicheaux
CEO, Matagorda Regional Medical Center
