West Wilshire Medical Surgical Center Receives Excellence Award From California Ambulatory Surgery Association
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 03, 2016 -- California Ambulatory Surgery Association announced that West Wilshire Medical Surgical Center is among the inaugural recipients of their ASC Excellence Award. The awards were established to acknowledge that California ASCs are drivers of excellent healthcare, providing opportunities and solutions for healthcare reform. The program is built around five pillar categories acknowledging a CASA member facility who exemplifies best practices in the surgery center industry, plus actively promotes and advocates for ASC excellence and inclusion in the healthcare delivery system.
West Wilshire Medical Surgical Center (WWMSC) was founded in 2002, and has committed itself to the highest level of multi-specialty care. The Center is dedicated to ophthalmology, otolaryngology, head & neck surgery, plastic surgery and orthopedic surgery. This center was the first ASC to employ Intraoperative Navigation, and the first outpatient center to perform Trans-nasal Endoscopic Image-guided Orbital Tumor Surgery. They are exceptionally engaged within their communities; five percent of their activity is pro-bono surgery for patients of the Venice Family Clinic (which serves 20,000 low-income and homeless families).
