Mon Health Medical Center and Providers Reaccredited in Minimally Invasive Gynecology

Posted Date: 8/20/2024
Mon Health Medical Center recently achieved reaccreditation from the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) as a Center of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology (COEMIG). Additionally, Dr. Susan Capelle, Dr. Craig Herring, Dr. William McBee, Dr. Shane Prettyman, Dr. John Sunyecz, and Dr. Christine Wilson have been recognized once again as Surgeons of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology.

Status as an accredited Center of Excellence means that Mon Health Medical Center has met nationally and internationally recognized standards. Not all hospitals and surgeons seek accreditation; not all that undergo the rigorous inspection process are granted accreditation.

Health care facilities and surgeons seeking an SRC accreditation undergo an extensive assessment and inspection process to ensure the applicant meets SRC’s proven standards and requirements. These requirements include surgical volumes, facility equipment, clinical pathways and standardized operating procedures, an emphasis on patient education and continuous quality assessment. Inspectors educate staff in the accredited departments on best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.

For women, the benefits of minimally invasive gynecologic surgery are crucial and include reduced trauma, shorter operating time, faster healing time, minimal scarring, and reduced risk of infection. Patients receive better outcomes with decreased complications and morbidity. This accreditation enables patients to identify centers such as Mon Health Medical Center as an organization with a higher standard of gynecological care. Within the facility, the designation ensures that staff understand the benefits of minimally invasive gynecology as opposed to other open surgical methods. 

“We are proud to once again be named a Center of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology and to have several surgeons renamed Surgeons of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology. These reaccreditations are a testament to the high standard we uphold in women’s care, and certainly recognizes the dedication of our surgeons and their commitment to providing the best patient outcomes,” said Dr. Krystal Atkinson, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Nursing Officer of Mon Health Medical Center and Chief Nursing Executive of Mon Health System. “At Mon Health Medical Center, we will continue to provide excellent women’s care services and go above and beyond to meet the needs of the patients we serve.”
