Denville, June 4, 2007 – By demonstrating compliance with The Joint Commission's national standards for health care quality and safety, North Jersey for Urologic Care, P.A. has earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval™.

"North Jersey for Urologic Care, P.A underwent a thorough on-site evaluation against nearly 150 standards that promote quality care and patient safety," says Michael Kulczycki, executive director, Ambulatory Care Accreditation Program, The Joint Commission. "Their decision to pursue this voluntary process demonstrates their commitment to provide high quality care in a safe office environment," he continues.

Experts predict that the number of surgical procedures performed in 2002 in physician offices and ambulatory surgery centers will surpass those performed in hospitals. As the nation's leading evaluator of patient safety and health care quality in organizations, The Joint Commission has more than 50 years' experience in promoting patient safety and high quality care for individuals seeking care in health care organizations.

Dr. Gellman says achieving Joint Commission accreditation was a team effort. "Every employee has a role in making sure we provide the best care possible," He says. "The educational experience the surveyors provided was invaluable to them."
