Mary Immaculate Hospital
Achieves National Accreditation
Mary Immaculate Hospital announced its surgical weight loss center is now nationally accredited as a Comprehensive Center under the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP). This distinction is a joint program of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS).
The MBSAQIP Standards, outlined in the Resources for Optimal Care of the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Patient 2014, ensure that bariatric surgical patients receive a multidisciplinary program, not just a surgical procedure, which improves patient outcomes and long-term success. The accredited center offers preoperative and postoperative care designed specifically for their severely obese patients.
"Patients can feel very confident in selecting Bon Secours Mary Immaculate Hospital to receive treatment for severe obesity and its related conditions," said Anthony Terracina, MD, bariatric surgeon and medical director for the Bon Secours Surgical Weight Loss Center at Mary Immaculate. "We maintain the highest standards for patient safety and quality of care, resulting in great outcomes for our patients."
