Being a Surgical Quality Partner signifies Memorial Health System’s dedication to consistently improving procedures and approaches, all while maintaining a critical eye on the process at every step.

A Surgical Quality Partner designation lets patients know that Memorial Health System is dedicated to quality and relentless self-improvement and that they have been verified or accredited by the ACS. Patients can trust that the care they receive at Surgical Quality Partner hospitals, such as Memorial Health System, adheres to the most rigorous standards in surgical quality, and that the providers and support staff within the system are committed to maintaining, evaluating, and improving surgical care.
“ACS Quality programs are grounded in more than a century of experience and participation is an important measure of a hospital’s surgical quality. As an ACS Surgical Quality Partner, Memorial Health System has shown a commitment to providing the best possible patient care, evaluating that care in a rigorous fashion, and dedicating themselves to continuous self-improvement,” says ACS Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, Patricia L. Turner, MD, MBA, FACS.
