Temple University Hospital has been named an American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence. The ASMBS Center of Excellence designation recognizes surgical programs with a demonstrated track record of favorable outcomes in bariatric surgery. To earn a Center of Excellence designation, TUH underwent a series of site inspections during which all aspects of the program’s surgical processes were closely examined and data on health outcomes was collected. Upon review, the Surgical Review Corporation, an organization dedicated to pursuing surgical excellence, recommends approval of the designation for those surgeons and facilities whose practices and outcomes meet the stringent demands set forth by SRC for ASMBS.
