In partnership with CareJourney, for the first edition of Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers, U.S. News rated nearly 5,000 surgery centers on several criteria, including how successfully they avoided complications, Emergency Room visits, unplanned hospitalizations, and other undesirable outcomes; patient outcomes; risk-adjustment, and more. Ambulatory Surgery Centers were evaluated in four separate specialty areas, including the gastrointestinal (GI) procedures of colonoscopy and endoscopy. Surgery centers could not opt out of being evaluated.

“We are so proud of being named one of the best Ambulatory Surgery Centers for colonoscopy and endoscopy by U.S. News,” said Kathleen Hull, Facility Administrator, Saint Francis GI Endoscopy. “We are committed to providing world class, patient-centered care, and being recognized on this national list as one of the best, not only in Connecticut, but across the country, highlights that dedication.”

U.S. News awards the designation of “Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers” only to those surgery centers that satisfy U.S. News’ statistical assessment of performance. Only the highest-rated surgery centers earned a “Best” rating.
