Since our founding in 1993, Westways has always been focused on superior quality to ensure that only the most qualified healthcare professionals are staffed on a consistent basis. In August, after much planning, hard work, and preparation, we were surveyed for our recertification by the Joint Commission. The Joint Commission, a recognized provider of quality standards in the healthcare industry, has recertified Westways Staffing Services, Inc. with its Gold Seal of Approval for healthcare staffing services. This recertification bears credence to our practices and high standards.

We trust that healthcare organizations will look for the Gold Seal as evidence of high quality standards, and select to partner only with those staffing services who have achieved such certification. Certification recognizes Westways Staffing Services dedication to supply healthcare professionals that are qualified to provide safe, high-quality care to patients. We are honored to have been recertified by the Joint Commission.

I want to thank all of our staff for their cooperation in helping us achieve this recertification. I am a proud person to have such a wonderful staff, and everyone should be proud of the fact that they work for such an honored company. Again, thank you to everyone that helped us re-achieve our Gold Seal of Approval. – Harold Sterling, CEO

I don’t pretend to know or care about baseball. Yes, I know the Yankees from the Angels, but that’s due to being married to a die hard Yankee fan. I do, however, know a HOME RUN when I see it, and that’s exactly what Westways Staffing Services, Inc. did during our second Joint Commission survey.

The Joint Commission reviewer spent two days at Westways corporate office, and on the third day she traveled for a surprise visit to our San Bernardino office. Arlene and her staff did an amazing job despite their nerves. Additionally, Kimberly in the San Diego office remained very calm as she spoke via phone with the representative from the Joint Commission.

All Westways nurses should be extremely proud, as the word from the hospitals who were polled was that “Westways is our first call”. So, thank you one and all…good game! – Donna Couturié, Director of Clinical Operations
