The Joint Commission
The Joint Commission evaluates and accredits more than 15,000 health care organizations and programs in the United States. The Joint Commission is the nation’s predominant standards setting and accrediting body in health care. ARMS received its accreditation with the Joint Commission in 2003 and is still accredited today. ARMS is accredited for Ambulatory Care, designated as a Primary Care Medical Home, and continues to offer quality care to our patients, not only by ARMS’ standards but also by the standards of The Joint Commission.
