Surgeons Accredited
SALISBURY — Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC) and its bariatric surgeons have again been accredited, for a third consecutive three-year cycle, as an American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) 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. Peninsula Regional Medical Center offers patients on the Delmarva Peninsula bariatric procedures like the gastric sleeve, gastric bypass and laparoscopic banding.
Surgeons and centers with ASMBS Center of Excellence designations, like Peninsula Regional Medical Center, provide only top-quality care with individualized care plans to help each patient safely reach his or her own personal goals.
To again earn the Center of Excellence designation, Peninsula Regional and its bariatric surgical team was required to meet strict criteria set by the ASMBS Center of Excellence designation program. The program accredits inpatient and outpatient bariatric surgery centers in the United States and Canada that have undergone an independent, voluntary, and rigorous peer evaluation in accordance with nationally recognized bariatric surgical standards.
“There continues to be a prevalence of morbid obesity in our region and with it an inherent risk of a number of associated complications, but we can and do help our patients eliminate those risk factors every day at PRMC through bariatric surgery,” said Dr. Michael Sofronski, MD, bariatric surgeon and Medical Director of the Bariatric Center at Peninsula Regional. “We recognized when establishing this program nearly a decade ago the need to implement a systematic approach to improving quality of life, which continues making available to our patients the very best surgical options and outcomes, nutritional lifestyle changes and exercise, all of which are essential to success.”
