Bath Township Surgery Center Ranks Ohio's Best for Second Consecutive Year
The Surgery Center at Cleveland Clinic Akron General Health and Wellness in Bath Township has been recognized as Ohio's top ambulatory surgery center by Newsweek for the second year in a row. This ranking, reported by the Akron Beacon Journal, is based on an analysis of over 5,000 ambulatory surgery centers nationwide, with scores derived from quality metrics, peer evaluations, patient experience, and accreditations. Ambulatory surgery centers are increasingly vital for outpatient procedures such as joint work, digestive procedures, and eye and orthopedic surgery, offering specialized facilities outside traditional hospital operating rooms. Dr. Teri Lash-Ritter, president of Cleveland Clinic Akron General, attributed this recognition to the caregivers' focus on safety and quality, ensuring outstanding surgical care for patients.
