For the second year, Shared Content has been named one of the Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers in the nation by U.S. News & World Report. These ratings of outpatient surgical centers offer patients a data-informed resource when seeking outpatient surgical care. 

As an AMSURG-affiliated surgery center, we are at the forefront of gastroenterology. AMSURG is a leader in ambulatory surgery center services with 64 of its surgery centers being recognized by U.S. News. 

“Providing high-quality patient care is a core commitment at every AMSURG center,” said Jeff Snodgrass, President and CEO of AMSURG. “Having 64 of our centers recognized by U.S. News & World Report is a testament to the expertise and compassion of our teams across the country. This achievement directly reflects our unwavering dedication to excellence. Congratulations to all centers honored.” 

U.S. News and its partner CareJourney rated more than 4,000 surgery centers across the country on several criteria, including how successfully they avoided complications, ER visits, unplanned hospitalizations and other undesirable outcomes; patient outcomes; risk-adjustment and more. Ambulatory Surgery Centers were evaluated in four separate specialty areas: Gastroenterology, Orthopedics, Ophthalmology and Urology.

Janice Cain focuses on the well-being and care of patients at the East Bay Endosurgery Center in Oakland, California. 

Cain is a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) and an affiliate of the AMSURG Anesthesia network. CRNAs are advanced practice registered nurses who are certified to administer anesthesia at U.S. medical facilities, including ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs).  

Having been affiliated with AMSURG Anesthesia since 2012, Cain said ASCs benefit both CRNAs and the patients.  

“Working in an ASC affords patients [the opportunity] to have a procedure and anesthesia locally on an outpatient basis,” she said. “The pace and number of cases is efficient and safe, and 30-plus GI cases can be performed in a day. “ 

Cain said she appreciates the high level of communication between AMSURG leadership and CRNAs at East Bay Endosurgery, which was named a “2024-2025 Best Ambulatory Surgery Center” by U.S. News & World Report. 

“The collaboration between the MDs and CRNAs is fabulous,” she said. 

Honor Professionals during National CRNA Week

During National CRNA Week (Jan. 19-25), the U.S. celebrates nearly 74,000 CRNAs and residents in nurse anesthesiology programs in the United States. This year’s theme is “CRNAs: Exceptional Care. Innovative Leaders.”   

CRNA services include pre-anesthesia evaluation, administering anesthetic, monitoring and evaluating a patient’s vital signs and managing the patient throughout surgery. CRNAs safely deliver more than 50 million anesthetics to patients each year in the United States. 

Ondee Whitman, AMSURG Anesthesia Services Associate Vice President, praised Cain and all CRNA teammates for their dedication, expertise and unwavering commitment to exceptional patient care.  

“This is a great opportunity to highlight our own outstanding CRNAs, whose expertise and compassionate care go above and beyond every single day,” Whitman said. “Whether it’s ensuring patient comfort before a procedure, providing expert anesthesia management or being a calm presence in the operating room, these individuals exemplify the very best in patient-centered care.”
