The Hospital of Central Connecticut’s Center for Bariatric Surgery has been accredited as a Level 1 facility by the Bariatric Surgery Center Network Accreditation Program of the American College of Surgeons.
The accreditation is awarded to hospital’s that provide resources necessary for optimal care of morbidly obese patients, along with support and resources to address the entire spectrum of care and needs of bariatric patients, from the pre-hospital phase through postoperative care and treatment.
For accreditation, each hospital undergoes an on-site verification by experienced bariatric surgeons, who review the center’s structure, process, and quality of data.Â
HCC now has dual national designations/accreditations; in June the hospital was designated a Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery, following a rigorous program review by the Surgical Review Corporation.
