16 ASC MANAGEMENT The best ASCs in 25 states, ranked by Newsweek By Angie Stewart N ewsweek partnered with global research firm Statista to identify the 400 best ASCs in 25 states with the most facilities. e 2021 ranking took into account ASC quality data, centers' handling of the CO- VID-19 crisis, and surveys of ASC nurses, therapists, physicians, surgeons and adminis- trators. e number of ASCs awarded varied by state. California was represented with 80 ASCs, and Mississippi was on the other end of the spectrum with just three. William Prentice, CEO of the Ambulatory Surgery Center Association, commented on the ranking to Becker's ASC Review: "ASCA is pleased that Newsweek is recogniz- ing that ambulatory surgery centers provide exemplary care to patients across the country because that has been true for a very long time. Readers should also know that there are several nationally recognized accrediting bodies that independently certify the quality of care provided by thousands of ambulatory surgery centers. For this reason, we strongly recommend that patients considering sur- gery in an ASC look at the publicly available quality data that Medicare makes available online, as well as the accreditations awarded to the surgery center." e No. 1 ASC in 25 states: Arizona Mayo Clinic-Building Scottsdale California Sutter Health-Surgery Center Palo Alto Colorado Littleton Day Surgery Center Florida Surgical Care Affiliates-Boca Raton Outpa- tient Surgery & Laser Center Georgia Emory Healthcare-Emory Clinic at 1365 Clion Rd (Atlanta) Illinois Surgical Care Affiliates-Northwest Surgicare (Arlington Heights) Indiana Unity Surgical Center (Lafayette) Kansas KU MedWest Outpatient Surgery Center (Shawnee) Louisiana Lake Surgery Center (Baton Rouge) Maryland Johns Hopkins Endoscopy & Surgery Center (Columbia) Michigan TruVista Surgery Center (Troy) Minnesota Surgical Care Affiliates-Maplewood Surgery Center (Maplewood) Mississippi St. Dominic Ambulatory Surgery Center (Jackson) Missouri e Surgical Center at Columbia Orthopae- dic Group New Jersey Mercer County Surgery Center (Lawrencev- ille) New York Gramercy Surgery Center-New York (New York City) North Carolina Capital City Surgery Center (Raleigh) Ohio Cleveland Clinic-Wooster Milltown Spe- cialty and Surgery Center Oregon Surgical Care Affiliates-Northbank Surgical Center (Salem) Pennsylvania Wills Surgery Center of Northeast (Phila- delphia) South Carolina Midlands Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery- Surgery Center (Columbia) Tennessee Methodist Germantown Surgery Center Texas Surgical Care Affiliates-Texas Health Surgery Center Craig Ranch (McKinney) Washington Proliance Surgeons-Seattle Surgery Center Wisconsin e Surgery Center Franklin n Dartmouth-Hitchcock opens $62M ASC: 4 details By Carly Behm D artmouth-Hitchcock's newest ASC in Manchester, N.H., is set to open for same-day surgeries at the end of April.
