Accreditations

AAAHC

We are pleased to announce that on June 9, 2006 we were accredited for three years by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). In addition, the New Jersey Surgery Center acquired the Medicare deemed status which is an additional rigorous accreditation as a Medicare Certified ambulatory surgical center.

This is an important milestone in the continuing growth and success of our health care organization. We have had an unwavering commitment to providing the highest levels of quality care to our patients and the same high level of conduct in our business practices. Accreditation by the AAAHC is proof of this commitment and signifies that we have met the rigorous standards of a nationally recognized third party.

“Accreditation underscores our long-standing commitment to providing the highest possible levels of quality care to the community we serve”, said Roseanne Ottaggio, New Jersey Surgery Center administrator. “We are pleased and proud to have our efforts recognized with this accreditation.”

Ambulatory health care organizations seeking accreditation by the AAAHC undergo an extensive on-site, peer-based survey of its facilities and services. Not all ambulatory health care organizations seek accreditation; not all undergoing the on-site survey are granted accreditation.

Our status as an AAAHC accredited organization allows us to provide an extra measure of confidence to our community. We are proud to have met the challenge of accreditation and intend to consistently uphold the principles of quality improvement and quality care in the future.
