Memorial Health earns SRC Center of Excellence in hernia and robotic surgery

Memorial Health recently achieved accreditations from Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) as a Center of Excellence in both hernia surgery and robotic surgery. This accreditation recognizes Memorial Health’s commitment and high standard of delivery of quality patient care and safety.

Status as an accredited Hernia and Robotic Surgery Center of Excellence means that Memorial Health has met nationally and internationally recognized standards. Not all pursue accreditation, and among those who do, not all meet the standards to earn it.

“We are proud to have earned the Surgical Review Corporation’s Center of Excellence designations in both hernia surgery and robotic surgery,” said Brad Talbert, CEO of Memorial Health. “These accreditations affirm the safe, high-quality surgical care provided by our physicians and clinical teams and are a testament to our commitment to deliver the highest standards for our patients."

Healthcare facilities and surgeons seeking an SRC accreditation undergo an extensive assessment and inspection process to ensure the applicant meets SRC’s proven standards and requirements. These requirements include surgical volumes, facility equipment, clinical pathways and standardized operating procedures, an emphasis on patient education and continuous quality assessment. Inspectors educate staff in the accredited departments on best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.

“We’re proud to recognize Memorial Health for its commitment to advancing and providing quality care for all patients,” said Gary M. Pratt, CEO of SRC. “This accreditation signals that this facility is among the best in this specialty and is dedicated to delivering the highest level of care possible.”
