What is a Center of Excellence?

The term Center of Excellence in healthcare refers to a specialized program that includes the most highly experienced, expert medical professionals, utilizes state of the art equipment and technology and demonstrates clinical excellence and successful patient outcomes.

To earn a Center of Excellence designation in healthcare, programs must undergo a rigorous independent review process during which all aspects of the program’s processes and health outcomes data are closely examined. The distinction recognizes hospitals that are making exceptional efforts to improve quality of care and outcomes.

We are proud to offer you multiple Centers of Excellence that demonstrate this commitment.
