AdventHealth Gordon issued the following announcement on Aug. 5
AdventHealth Ocala has achieved accreditation as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery for providing the highest quality of care and patient safety by the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC). AdventHealth Ocala is home to three of the latest da Vinci Xi surgical robots, two of which were purchased since AdventHealth Ocala joined the national hospital system. The achievement highlights hospital surgeons’ clinical expertise with da Vinci robots toprovide minimally invasive general, urologic, gynecologic, and thoracic surgeries which shorten the length of hospitalization, reduce recovery times and improve surgical results – helping patients return to a better quality of life faster.
“We want our community to know they do not have to travel outside of Marion County for exceptional, world class surgical care,” said Joe Johnson, President and CEO of AdventHealth Ocala. “We’re home to some of the best surgeons in bariatric and gastroenterology care, using the most advanced robotics equipment available. This recognition highlights the promise we made to this community to elevate care and invest in the technology and the team to deliver the best care possible.”
The distinction acknowledges AdventHealth Ocala and its surgeons as meeting nationally & internationally recognized standards. Not all hospitals and surgeons seek accreditation and not all that undergo the rigorous requirements and inspection process are granted accreditation by SRC. AdventHealth Ocala voluntarily submitted to be part of the rigorous accreditation process.
“We have spent countless hours working toward this certification and want to continue to bring only the highest level of surgical expertise to our community,” says Dr. Edwin Menor, Medical Director of Robotic Surgery at AdventHealth Ocala. “As surgeons we are committed to consistently honing our skills and we want our patients to find comfort in knowing they are in the best possible hands during what can be a scary time for patients and their families.”
In addition to the SRC’s distinction, AdventHealth Ocala is an American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) HeartCARE Center of Excellence and Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) distinguished three-star rated hospital. The three-star rating, which denotes the highest category of quality, places the hospital among the elite for heart bypass surgery in the United States and Canada.
