The Department of Surgery’s first-ever Ambulatory Surgery Center completed its inaugural year with over 700 cases performed and a perfect safety record. With two spacious operating rooms and one convenient procedure room, the ambulatory surgery suite allows patients to undergo outpatient procedures in a safe and comfortable facility, just steps from their Mount Sinai physician’s offices. Each operating room has been equipped with the latest technological innovations. The suite is staffed by physicians from the Department of Anesthesiology’s outpatient anesthesia group, as well as its own dedicated team of highly-trained nurses and surgical technicians. The facility was constructed according to the stringent specifications of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) and is certified by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF).
