The Value of JCHAO Accreditation for our Patients


When looking for a reputable plastic surgeon, most know to look for one that is Board Certified, but many fail to ask whether the organization they choose is JCHAO credited. What is JCHAO you might ask? 

JCHAO stands for Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations.
JCHAO is a private, nonprofit organization whose mission is to continuously improve the safety and quality of care provided to the public; it does this through the provision of health accreditation and related services that support performance improvement in health care organizations. JCAHO is governed by a 28-member Board of Commissioners that includes nurses, physicians, consumers, medical directors, administrators, providers, employers, labor representatives, health plan leaders, quality experts, ethicists, health insurance administrators, and educators. The corporate members of JCAHO are the American College of Physicians-American Society of Internal Medicine, the American College of Surgeons, the American Dental Association, the American Hospital Association, and the American Medical Association.

At Sleek Surgical & MedSpa, we believe you deserve the highest quality of health care. That’s why Sleek Surgical Center in New York is certified by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCHAO). When you see our certificate of JCHAO Accreditation, you will know that JCHAO has closely examined our facilities, systems and procedures. It means that we, as an organization, have demonstrated the highest level of care and safety in meeting or exceeding all state and federal guidelines.

Why is JCAHO important to you? Because your body is important and we want you to feel comfortable making the decision to entrust Sleek Surgical & MedSpa with all your surgical needs. We are not required to seek JCAHO accreditation, but we choose to because our goal is to provide the highest quality of care to all of our patients.

Located throughout the East Coast, SLEEK Surgical & MedSpa is a leader in the aesthetic community. With our staff of renowned board-certified cosmetic surgeons, you will be in good hands both before and after plastic surgery.
