This marks the first time the hospital has achieved this highest level of recognition from UHMS, the global leader in advancing the science, technology, safety and clinical practice of undersea and hyperbaric medicine. The accreditation reflects the center’s exceptional commitment to patient care, safety and clinical excellence.
Accreditation with distinction is awarded to hyperbaric facilities that not only meet rigorous UHMS standards but exceed them, demonstrating exceptional clinical outcomes, advanced protocols and dedication to quality improvement. Achieving this milestone signifies that Greenwich Hospital’s Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Wound Healing operates at the forefront of hyperbaric care nationally.
“Receiving accreditation with distinction is a tremendous honor,” said Bob Blenderman, PA, president, Greenwich Hospital of Yale New Haven Health. “This achievement recognizes the hard work, dedication and expertise of our entire team, who go above and beyond every day to provide safe, high-quality care for our patients.
