What an Achievement!

According to CMS, Maimonides is among the top 10 hospitals in the nation for the best clinical outcomes for outpatient surgery, tied in the ranks with Mass General Hospital, Cedars-Sinai and Hospital for Special Surgery. Our exceptional surgical teams have made this possible as demonstrated with the lowest rates for post-ambulatory surgery hospital visits (returns for complications.) Congrats to all who have made this exceptional quality achievement possible.
