Day Surgery Center

What Is a Day Surgery Center?

A day surgery center, also known as an ambulatory care or outpatient surgery center, is a facility where you can have surgical procedures that don't require an overnight hospital stay.

Why They Matter

These centers are a safe and cost-effective alternative to a hospital for many types of scheduled surgeries. Because they are highly specialized and efficient, they often have lower costs, more convenient scheduling, and a lower risk of infection compared to a hospital setting.
