Stony Brook University Hospital has received a two-year Advanced Inpatient Diabetes certification from The Joint Commission after a comprehensive review of its diabetes program. Stony Brook becomes the seventh hospital in New York State and the first hospital in Suffolk County to achieve advanced certification. Only 66 hospitals nationally have achieved this distinction, which resulted on May 19 after a rigorous three-day review in March by Joint Commission surveyors. Certification demonstrates continuous compliance with The Joint Commission's performance standards. As the Joint Commission's "Gold Seal of Approval®" for Advanced Inpatient Diabetes, it reflects a healthcare organization's commitment to providing safe and quality patient care. "This achievement demonstrates the outstanding quality of care that our faculty and staff provide for patients with diabetes," said Carol Gomes, MS, FACHE, CPHQ, chief executive officer of Stony Brook University
