JCAHO Appointment

Published Online:7 Sep 2001https://doi.org/10.1176/pn.36.17.0027

It is with interest that I read in your July 20 issue of the appointment of Dr. Joseph English as an AMA appointee to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO), which incorrectly states that Dr. English “will be the first psychiatrist to sit on the JCAHO board.” Dr. English was quoted as saying, “This is really a historic and momentous time for American psychiatry.” Please be advised that I served three terms as an AMA appointee to the JCAHO Board from 1968 to 1976.
