Money Ranks Silver Cross Hospital #1 in the U.S. for Bariatric Surgery.
We have always known our bariatric surgery program – in partnership with Dr. Brian Lahmann and BMI Surgery at Silver Cross – is exceptional.
Money Magazine has ranked us #1 in the United States for 2024! And that from a list of 75 hospitals, whittled down from hundreds across the U.S., includes a number of heavy hitters, including Mayo Clinic hospitals, Cedars-Sinai, Baylor Scott & White Medical Center, and several major academic medical centers.
To be considered among the nation’s top facilities for bariatric care, a hospital first had to meet key standards of care that demonstrate it specializes in performing high-quality weight-loss surgeries. Money began by limiting the list to short-term, acute-care hospitals that have received a quality rating of three-stars or higher from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) – as well as accreditation in metabolic and bariatric care from the American College of Surgeons. The rankings also looked at outcomes, quality care and patient ratings. Silver Cross checked all the boxes – and came out on Top!
If you or someone you know is considering weight-loss surgery – or medical weight management – have them reach out to the BEST in the U.S.! Dr. Lahmann and his team have performed more than 10,000 surgeries since 2003 with excellent outcomes – and healthier, happier patients.
