St. Joesph Hospital Earns Gold Seal For Joint, Hip Replacement Surgery

BETHPAGE, NY — Catholic Health's St. Joseph Hospital has earned a special distinction. The Bethpage hospital received The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval for joint replacement and hip replacement.

The Gold Seal demonstrates continuous compliance with The Joint Commission’s rigorous performance standards and highlights St. Joseph’s exceptional efforts to improve outcomes by meeting the specialized needs of patients receiving knee and hip replacements.

“We are extremely proud of the St. Joseph team for being recognized by The Joint Commission for the exceptional, orthopedic care provided to patients in our community,” said Joseph Manopella, president of St. Joseph Hospital. “The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that further solidifies our commitment to delivering comprehensive, safe, and excellent care while enhancing the patient experience."

In May, St. Joseph Hospital underwent a comprehensive onsite review. During the visit, a team of Joint Commission reviewers evaluated the hospital’s compliance with hip and knee joint replacement standards, including patient education, staff education and performance monitoring.

Orthopedic surgeons at St. Joseph Hospital use the latest technological advances and minimally invasive methods — including robotic-assisted surgery. Many patients now go home on the same day as their procedure.

The certification recognizes health care organizations that offer clinical programs across the continuum of care for knee and hip replacements.
