Excuse Oakwood Healthcare System as it takes a little time to say “neener, neener, neener.”The Downriver-based healthcare system has just had four of its hospitals receive the Gold Seal of Approval for Total Joint Replacement from The Joint Commission. The cherry on the top of that is that Oakwood is the only healthcare company in Michigan to have four of its hospitals receive that recognition.It’s important because The Joint Commission is the nation’s leading accrediting body dedicated to the continuous improvement of safety and quality in a healthcare setting. It recognizes hospitals with outstanding programs for joints, such as knees and hips.Seven hospitals in Michigan are certified to perform hip and knee replacements. Four of those belong to Oakwood and all of them were recognized as continuously raising quality and safety to higher levels.The four Oakwood hospitals to receive the recognition are Oakwood Heritage Hospital, Oakwood Hospital & Medical Center in Dearborn, Oakwood Annapolis Hospital in Wayne and the Oakwood Southshore Medical Center.
