New Find a Hospital Tool Spotlights Centers with High-Quality Surgical Care

August 26, 2025

1404179486.jpg

The ACS has launched a new Find a Hospital tool designed to help surgeons and patients easily locate hospitals that meet the ACS’s rigorous standards for surgical care. 

This user-friendly resource helps you: 

  • Filter results by type of quality program, such as bariatric surgery, cancer care, children’s surgery, or geriatric surgery 
  • Learn how many ACS Quality Programs each hospital participates in, with clear explanations and links to the hospital’s website 

The Find a Hospital tool enables surgeons and patients to locate hospitals that have undergone accreditation or verification through ACS Quality Programs, demonstrating they have met the ACS’s high standards for surgical care.

If your institution is an ACS Surgical Quality Partner, share the tool with your community so they better understand your hospital’s dedication to improving surgical patient care. Your institution can also join or expand participation in any of the 13 ACS Quality Programs.  

Are you referring a patient to another provider? Use the tool to help them find a hospital that excels in the care they need. 

Visit Find a Hospital to start your search.
