Tifton, Ga.-based Southwell Medical’s surgery center in Adel, Ga., has become the first hospital in the state to be accredited as a center of excellence in orthopedic surgery by the Surgical Review Corporation, according to a June 2 report from The Tifton Gazette.
Southwell Medical also earned “Center of Excellence” accolades for endoscopy, minimally invasive gynecology and minimally invasive surgery.
To earn the certification, Southwell underwent a review of its surgical volume, staff training, facility infrastructure, standardized protocols and patient safety practices.
Two Southwell Medical orthopedic surgeons, Brook Bearden, MD, and Kevin Collins, MD, were also named “Surgeons of Excellence” by the corporation.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
