SRC logoWellington Regional Medical Center recently achieved accreditation from Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) as a Center of Excellence in Robotic and Minimally Invasive Surgery. This accreditation recognizes Wellington Regional Medical Center’s commitment and high standard of delivery of quality patient care and safety.

Status as an accredited Center of Excellence means that Wellington Regional Medical Center has met nationally and internationally recognized standards. Not all hospitals and surgeons seek accreditation, and not all that undergo the rigorous inspection process are granted accreditation.

“Achieving this accreditation stands as a testament to our dedication, setting new benchmarks in surgical innovation and fostering better outcomes for our patients," said Pam Tahan, Chief Executive Officer.

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 Wellington Regional Medical Center 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.”
