Extending a welcoming hand…Capt. Brandon Wolf, Naval Hospital Bremerton Director for Strategy and Quality Management department head greets The Joint Commission survey team during their official accreditation visit to the command, April 29-May 1, 2025. The Joint Commission survey takes place approximately every three years to inspect a hospital on such demonstrated high standards as patient care, process improvement and professional collaboration. The surveyors evaluated NHB’s compliance with established standards and identified strengths and weaknesses. From directorates to offices to clinics, the visiting survey team evaluated NHB’s policies, procedures and personnel, including reviewing Joint Commission criteria, performing spot inspections, and assessing standard operating procedures, forms, and protocols in place. They also gave credit where credit was due to staff members, processes in place and enacted initiatives. The shared results from The Joint Commission on the visit reflected favorably on NHB (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
