Why Choose a Nationally Accredited Center?
Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas received status as a Comprehensive Accredited Center under the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP®), a joint program of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) and the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS).
Core standards as outlined by MBSAQIP, semiannual reports on quality, and annual compliance reports ensures that weight loss surgical patients receive a multidisciplinary program, not just a surgical procedure, which improves patient outcomes and long-term success. After submitting an application, we underwent an extensive site visit by an experienced bariatric surgeon, who reviewed our center’s structure, process, and clinical outcomes data.
The New Life Now Weight Loss Program at Baptist Hospital, Beaumont is led by a board-certified surgeon in bariatric surgery providing essential support for the specific needs for patients.
This sets our center apart from others because having our leadership with additional expertise in bariatrics enhances the structure, process and outcomes of the center.
