Locate a Center of Excellence
SRC administers center of excellence (COE) programs throughout the world that recognize surgeons and healthcare facilities that provide safe, high-quality surgical care. These programs are either managed on behalf of professional surgical societies or endorsed by a specialty’s medical association. The COE programs promote universal care quality, regardless of the type of surgery or where patients have their procedures performed.
With the abundance of health-related topics in the mainstream news and an increased number of patient websites, consumers – and providers – are seeking ways to distinguish healthcare facilities that deliver high-quality care from those who do not. Patients increasingly recognize the importance of the COE designation and use it as a guide when selecting where to have surgical procedures.
Currently, more than 475 hospitals and freestanding outpatient facilities and 800 surgeons have been designated through the six programs SRC manages. Over 300 additional surgeons and 150 facilities have been approved for provisional status.
Centers that are awarded designation are announced weekly.
