What is an Outpatient Surgery Center (OSC)?

OSCs, sometimes referred to as Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), are facilities for surgical patients who do not need to be admitted to the hospital. OSC patients typically arrive for admission, have surgery performed in a full-service operating room with specialized staff, recover safely and quickly from anesthesia and return home within hour of their surgery. Some procedures require patients to stay for several hours to allow nurses to monitor their recovery.

OSCs are on the cutting-edge of technology often utilizing the most current surgical innovations with the lease invasive techniques allowing patients to return to their normal lifestyle sooner. OSCs are efficient, understanding that everyone’s time is important. Their convenient surgical flow allows you less wait time and less bureaucracy and offers patient-friendly family-centered environments.
