William A. Graber, MD, PC's program at Mohawk Valley Health System (MVHS) in Utica, NY has recently received the same fine disctinction as our program last year at St. Joseph Hospital and Health Center in Syracuse, NY!
Congrats to all involved in our bariatric program at Mohawk Valley Health System in Utica, NY on receiving the designation of "Comprehensive Center Accreditation for Bariatric Surgery" by the MBSAQIP- a joint quality program of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and the American College of Surgeons.
From MVHS..."The MBSAQIP standards ensure that bariatric surgery patients receive a multidisciplinary program, not just a surgical procedure, which improves patient outcomes and long-term success. The accredited program offers preoperative and postoperative care designed specifically for their severely obese patients. Angela Soja, MS, RN, FNP-C, CBN, RNFA, bariatric clinical coordinator for MVHS said, "This accreditation acknowledges our team’s hard work and commitment to providing quality improvement for metabolic and bariatric surgery patients from the physician experience through surgery and recovery.” See full details here.
Job well done to all involved!
