Earlier this month, RWJBarnabas Health announced that Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Somerset has become the first hospital in New Jersey and only the fourth hospital or health system in the country to earn the prestigious Health Equity Accreditation from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).
NCQA’s Health Equity Accreditation recognizes leading organizations that meet or exceed rigorous requirements in the following areas: organizational readiness; race/ethnicity, language, gender identity and sexual orientation; access and availability of language services; practitioner network cultural responsiveness; culturally and linguistically appropriate services programs; and reducing health care disparities.
This designation is a testament to RWJBarnabas Health’s commitment to addressing health disparities in our communities and the social determinants that impact health outcomes. RWJBarnabas Health also announced that each of its other hospitals and the system will pursue NCQA Health Care Accreditation in 2025.
