Bariatric Surgery Program Accreditation
Bariatric Surgery Program Accreditation
Portsmouth Regional Hospital has been designated as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence by the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) and the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC).
This designation indicates that this program has the required personnel, equipment, pathways and training to accommodate the specific needs of the bariatric patient. Designated bariatric surgery centers provide not only the hospital resources necessary for optimal care of morbidly obese patients, but also the support and resources that are necessary to address the entire spectrum of care and needs of the bariatric patients, from the pre-hospital phase through the postoperative care and treatment process.
To receive this designation, the hospital facilities are inspected by a member of the Surgical Review Corporation to assure that the facility meets or exceeds requirements set forth by the ASMBS.
The main number to the program is 603-334-2006.
For general information about bariatric surgery and for help in deciding if this procedure is right for you, see our Guide to Bariatric Surgery.
