AMERICA'S BEST AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTERS 2025
Newsweek US
|October 25, 2024
AMBULATORY SURGERY CENTERS CONTINUE to play a crucial role in modern health care.
In the United States, thousands of these facilities offer colonoscopies, tonsil removals, biopsies, cataract removals, knee repairs, skin grafts and other procedures. According to Definitive Healthcare, there are over 9,000 active ASCs performing millions of procedures each year.
These specialized centers are a popular option for patients seeking safe, quality care outside of a traditional hospital setting. ASCs focus on less invasive surgeries, which means nearly 100 percent of admitted patients go home the same day, minimizing both inconvenience and costs.
