The Joint Commission’s Maternal Levels of Care (MLC) Verification program, offered in collaboration with the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), has named Mount Sinai Medical Center a Level III maternal care verified facility.
As the only Level III facility in South Florida, Mount Sinai Medical Center has demonstrated it can care for complex maternal medical conditions, obstetrical complications, and fetal conditions.
The MLC Verification program provides an objective assessment of a facility’s capabilities and verifies that a hospital has the expertise, equipment, and resources in place for a patient’s specific needs and risk level. When complications arise, verification also confirms hospitals have agreements in place so the mother can be transferred to a higher-level facility with the appropriate level of care.
