Regent Surgical Health Centers Identified as "Orthopedic and Spine-Driven ASCs to Know"

Four Regent Facilities honored with title of "Orthopedic and Spine-Driven ASC to Know"

Westchester, IL (July 7, 2010) — Regent Surgical Health, the nation’s leading specialist in surgery center repositioning, would like to congratulate four of its ASCs that were identified among the 20 Orthopedic and Spine-Driven ASCs to Know by Becker’s ASC Review:

Illinois Sports Medicine & Orthopedic Surgery Center (Morton Grove, Ill.). ISMOSC is a physician-owned, multi-specialty ASC specializing in orthopedic and spine surgery, podiatry and pain management. ISMOSC is home to 18 orthopedic surgeons, nine podiatrists, three pain management physicians and 15 anesthesiologists. ISMOSC performs a wide variety of orthopedic ambulatory surgical procedures. In 2007, its first year of operation, ISMOSC performed more than 1,300 cases. The surgery center has experienced continued growth in case volume, performing more than 3,200 cases in 2008 and over 4,200 cases in 2009, according to Larry Parrish, administrator of the center.

Midland Surgical Center (Sycamore, Ill.). Midland Surgical Center opened in 2005 and is a joint venture between a local health system, five orthopedic surgeons and Regent Surgical Health. The multispecialty center features orthopedics, pain management, podiatry, plastic surgery and ophthalmology, and is used by eight orthopedic surgeons, two podiatrists, one plastic surgeon, four ophthalmologists and one pain management specialist. The center received CTQ's Apex Quality Award in 2009, which is given to only 20 ASCs across the country for excellence in patient satisfaction. In the coming years, the ASC hopes to add news surgeons and double its caseload, says Patricia Sulaver, RN, administrator of the center.

Ravine Way Surgery Center (Glenview, Ill.). Ravine Way Surgery Center, an orthopedic- and pain management-focused ASC, opened its doors in 1996. Today, the center performs approximately 1,600 cases annually. The ASC has 24 physicians on staff. According to Melody Winter-Jabeck, administrator at the center, Ravine Way is successful because of a strong commitment from its physicians-owners and a strong management team and experienced staff. The center, however, judges its success by the care it provides to its patients and is most proud of its very high patient satisfaction ratings, says Ms. Winter-Jabeck.

Surgery Center of Reno (Reno, Nevada). Surgery Center of Reno is a multispecialty ASC with a strong orthopedics program. The center is located next to St. Mary's Regional Medical Center in Reno and is the only freestanding surgery center in Reno with direct hospital access if the need arises to transfer a patient to a higher level of care. The center's medical staff includes four spine surgeons, eight orthopedic surgeons and six podiatrists. Other surgical medical specialties offered at the center include pain management, ENT, urology, ophthalmology, OBGYN, general surgery and oral surgery.

Tom Mallon, CEO of Regent, congratulated the four centers, saying, "It’s great to see the hard work of our employees and physicians being recognized. Keep up the good work!” To read the full article and see the complete list of Facilities, visit Becker’s ASC Review.
