Dr. P. Phillips Hospital earns recertification from the Joint Commission

Dr. P. Phillips Hospital continues to be the first and only hospital to earn the Advanced Total Hip and Knee Replacement Certification from the Joint Commission, the nation’s leading accrediting body in health care. 

According to a press release, Dr. P. Phillips is the first and only hospital in Central Florida to be accredited this certification, and now, recertification.

“We are proud that our orthopedic program achieved this milestone, which sets a standard for joint replacement care in the region,” said Orlando Health Jewett Orthopedic Institute surgeon Jaime Carvajal, a participating physician in the Orlando Health Dr. P. Phillips Hospital program. 

The hospital first received its certification in 2019. This year, the hospital underwent a thorough evaluation of its orthopedics team’s approach to providing high-quality care, from beginning to end, later receiving the certification. 

“Our goal is to help patients regain mobility, reduce pain and return to the activities they enjoy after a smooth recovery,” Carvajal said. “This certification recognizes our role as a trusted health care provider in our community and highlights the dedication of our team members to improve the lives of every patient we serve.”
