Northeast Georgia Health System affiliate Braselton Surgery Center received its Accreditation Commission for Health Care accreditation.
ACHC accreditation is an independent validation that a healthcare organization's policies, processes and delivery of care meet recognized standards for quality and safety, according to a release from NGHS.
“We are excited to receive this accreditation, which proves our commitment to providing exceptional care to patients in our community,”Gretchen Bryant, administrator for the Braselton Surgery Center, said. “Our expert surgeons and state-of-the-art facility offer a variety of same-day procedures – meaning patients can return home to heal quicker.”
The health system said having surgery at a center outside the hospital comes with benefits such as a reduced cost, easier scheduling and greater convenience.
Braselton Surgery Center currently offers procedures in multiple specialties including endoscopy, general surgery, orthopedic surgery, podiatry and urology.
