Newsweek Unveils the Fifth Annual Rankings of America’s Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers

NEW YORK, Oct. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Newsweek, the modern global digital news organization, in partnership with Statista, announced today the release of its rankings of America’s Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers for 2025. This year’s rankings recognize the top 650 ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) in the U.S., showcasing excellence in outpatient surgical care.

ASCs are essential pillars in modern healthcare, offering high-quality, efficient surgical procedures without the need for hospitalization. These centers provide vital services such as colonoscopies, cataract surgeries, knee repairs, and biopsies, ensuring patients can return home the same day while significantly reducing costs and inconvenience.

Newsweek evaluated over 5,000 ASCs nationwide, assessing key factors like quality of care, patient experience, and performance data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). Peer recommendations from medical professionals also played a major role. The rankings were based on a scoring model, with peer recommendations and CMS data each contributing 45% of the score, along with patient experience (7.5%) and accreditation status (2.5%).

“Our Ambulatory Surgery Center rankings are helping to continue our mission of guiding Americans in their healthcare decisions. Ambulatory surgery centers offer critical services with convenience and cost efficiency, and we hope these rankings provide invaluable insights for patients seeking the best care in their states and regions,” said Josh Smith, Newsweek’s Director of Growth and Strategic Partnerships.
