To earn Center of Excellence designation, facilities must undergo a thorough review process, including site inspections, during which all aspects of a program?s surgical processes are closely examined and data on surgical outcomes collected and analyzed. Centers of Excellence are thus held to some of the most rigorous standards in the industry for high-level performance and comprehensive care.
“We are extremely pleased to receive the ASMBS Center of Excellence distinction which recognizes the expertise and experience of our surgeons, our record of successful outcomes and our organization?s dedication to quality patient care before, during and after surgery,” says Guita Griffiths, President of DayOne Health. “In the rapidly expanding bariatric surgery marketplace with many treatment programs and options available, this distinction truly sets DayOne Health and our outpatient Lap-Band surgery program apart.”
In Nov. 2001, DayOne Health became the first center in the United States to perform the Lap-Band as an outpatient procedure. For more on DayOne Health, go here.
