Middleboro, Massachusetts – Chamberlain International School has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Behavioral Health Home Certification by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a health care organization’s commitment to providing safe and quality care to the individuals it serves.  

The certification recognizes health care organizations that integrate and coordinate an individual’s behavioral health and primary physical health care services to facilitate access to a broad array of behavioral health care, medical care, and community-based social services and supports. These organizations focus on key concepts of individual-centered, comprehensive, and coordinated care and services that support recovery and resilience philosophies.

Joint Commission standards are developed in consultation with health care experts and providers, measurement experts, and patients. The reviewers also conducted in-depth observations and interviews.
