Lexington Clinic’s Ambulatory Surgery Center
Receives AAAHC Accreditation
..............................................................................................

Lexington Clinic’s Ambulatory Surgery Center was recently awarded a three-year
re-accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).

Status as an accredited facility means Lexington Clinic has met nationally recognized standards for the provision of quality healthcare, set by the AAAHC. AAAHC accreditation is specifically for organizations that provide diagnostic or medical care on an outpatient basis. To receive accreditation, a facility and its staff must undergo an extensive and rigorous self-assessment and on-site survey by the AAAHC’s expert surveyors— volunteer physicians, nurses and administrators who are actively involved in ambulatory healthcare.

“Quality patient care is our top priority, and this accreditation is one of the ways we can show patients our commitment to healthcare excellence,” said Andrew H. Henderson, M.D., chief executive officer of Lexington Clinic.

Lexington Clinic’s Ambulatory Surgery Center is a state-of-the-art facility with over 40 highly trained physicians and surgeons who perform outpatient surgery, endoscopy and interventional pain management procedures in over 15 different specialties. Located on the first floor of the medical office building behind Lexington Clinic’s main campus on Harrodsburg Road, the ASC offers six operating suites and four procedure rooms.
