Memorial Bariatric Center receives accreditation Argus Press
“The benefit for our patients is in knowing that they have chosen a quality facility and that the care received will meet and/or exceed the various standards established by ACS,” said Dr. Nathan Tomita, general and bariatric surgeon with Memorial Healthcare.
The accreditation makes Memorial Healthcare one of only three hospitals in the state of Michigan double certified by the American College of Surgeons in Bariatrics and Cancer.
Established by the American College of Surgeons in 2005 in an effort to extend established quality improvement practices to all disciplines of surgical care, the ACS BSCN Accreditation Program provides confirmation that a bariatric surgery center has demonstrated its commitment to providing the highest quality care for its bariatric surgery patients. Accredited bariatric surgery centers provide not only the hospital resources necessary for optimal care of morbidly obese patients, but also the support and resources that are necessary to address the entire spectrum of care and needs of bariatric patients, from the pre-hospital phase through the postoperative care and treatment process.
