Brooks-TLC Hospital System, Inc. has been awarded by DNV GL Healthcare full certification to the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 9001 Quality Management System. ISO 9001 is the most widely-accepted quality management system in use around the world, and is quickly gaining acceptance among U.S. health care providers as a foundation for their quality and patient safety programs. Brooks-TLC Vice President of Quality Services Jodi Witherell says, "Brooks-TLC is dedicated to providing the safest and most effective healthcare services possible. ISO certification not only reflects that mission, but helps to empower it. The certificate is just a piece of paper, but the effort required to achieve it fundamentally transforms the way we do business. ISO 9001 is ideally suited to the complex, people-intensive challenges of running a hospital." Brooks-TLC CEO Mary LaRowe added, "I'm so incredibly proud of the teamwork it took to earn this certification and how every employee played a big part in achieving it."
