Tampa General Hospital’s Women’s Institute is proving its commitment to excellence in care for mothers and babies.

It is now one of only seven hospitals in Florida to receive the highest level of accreditation from The Joint Commission, the nation’s gold standard in accreditation .

The Joint Commission, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering health care organizations in providing the highest level of safety and quality, verified the TGH Women’s Institute as a Level IV Maternal Care hospital.

“It is an honor for Tampa General to receive this recognition because we’re continuously finding ways to improve and be among the best health care facilities in the country,” said Melissa Golombek, DNP, vice president of the TGH Women’s Institute and Muma Children’s Hospital at TGH. “At the end of the day, it comes down to each patient and ensuring a safe delivery and experience for every mother and baby.”

Tampa General now joins the elite list of just 33 birthing hospitals in the country to receive this designation.

“At Tampa General Hospital, our physicians and team members provide exceptional care to expectant mothers throughout their pregnancy and through the delivery of their newborns. We recognize a healthy start for families will help drive healthy outcomes throughout their lifetime,” says John Couris, president and CEO of Tampa General. “This recognition for Level IV maternal care is a testament to the team and their commitment to excellence in patient care and clinical research — just two of the reasons why families turn to Tampa General for world-class care.”
