Joint Commission

For those interested in hospitals and how they are rated, Community Board 10 will be hosting representatives from Joint Commission, an organization that offers accreditation to hospitals in many states, including New York.

The dialogue with Joint Commission representatives and committee members will take place at CB 10’s Health and Human Service committee on Thursday, June 28, according to board member Mary Jane Musano.

The guest and time was confirmed by Matt Cruz, CB 10 district manager.

Anyone interested in attending should call CB 10 to confirm the time at (718) 892-1161.

As is typical at community board committee meetings, questions may be limited to board members only.
