Ambulatory Surgery Centers

At Virtua, we partner with more than 40 ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. The clinical teams collectively perform over 200,000 same-day procedures each year, utilizing the latest minimally invasive techniques to deliver top-quality diagnostic and therapeutic surgical services.

Our Approach to Outpatient Surgery

Ambulatory surgery, also known as same-day or outpatient surgery, is a procedure that allows you to return to the comfort of your own home on the same day as your procedure. New technology and techniques have made outpatient surgery even safer and more comfortable for patients. All centers must meet extensive state and federal requirements to ensure continuous safety and quality.

The highly skilled medical teams at our joint-venture ASCs are focused on providing patients and their families with personalized care with exceptional outcomes in a convenient setting. Your clinical team will ensure that you feel well informed before and during your procedure, and prepared and supported before returning home.

Here's what you can expect:

• State-of-the-art facilities: Equipped with the latest technology for precise, effective procedures. Plus, each facility is state-licensed, nationally accredited, Medicare-certified, and adheres to the highest standards for quality and safety.
• Comprehensive care options: The centers offer a wide range of diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical procedures tailored to your needs.
• Clear communication: From your initial consultation to recovery, the team will keep you informed every step of the way.
