The American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and the Surgical Review Corporation announced that Jewish Bariatric Care at Sts. Mary & Elizabeth Hospital, Louisville, KY, along with Louisville Bariatric Surgical Associates, was approved for renewal as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence. To date, surgeons at Jewish Bariatric Care have performed nearly 2,000 bariatric surgical procedures. To be designated a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence, hospitals must perform at least 50 bariatric surgeries a year; have a dedicated, multidisciplinary bariatric team; report long-term outcomes; and have an on-site inspection.
