Newsweek ranks M Health Fairview Clinic and Surgery Centers among best in nation

Four M Health Fairview specialty clinic and surgery centers in the Twin Cities region achieved national recognition this month for high-quality care and performance.

Newsweek Magazine recently released its 2022 list of America's Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers. The list recognized 470 facilities in the 25 states with the most ambulatory surgery centers. Ambulatory surgery centers serve patients who need surgery, but don’t need to be hospitalized – they can return home quickly, often on the same day as their operation.

This year’s list included 12 locations in Minnesota. Our locations and their statewide rankings are:

• #3 - M Health Fairview Clinics and Surgery Center - Minneapolis
• #5 - M Health Fairview Clinics and Specialty Center - Maplewood
• #7 - M Health Fairview Clinics and Surgery Center - Maple Grove
• #9 - M Health Fairview Clinics and Specialty Center - Burnsville

Our Maplewood and Burnsville locations are jointly owned and managed in partnership with Surgical Care Affiliates.

M Health Fairview's specialty clinic and surgery centers serve as convenient hubs between our network of primary care clinics and hospitals. They offer patients easy access to dozens of specialists and perform routine surgical procedures while helping patients avoid potentially costly hospitalizations.

If needed, patients can visit multiple specialists in a single day at our specialty clinic and surgery centers, making their healthcare experience easier and more streamlined.

“We’re proud to once again be recognized by Newsweek among the best ambulatory surgery centers in Minnesota,” said Anesthesiologist Jacob Hutchins, MD, executive medical director of M Health Fairview Clinics and Surgery Center - Minneapolis. “This award showcases the high-quality, coordinated care we offer through our specialty hubs.”

To choose this year's 470 honorees across 25 states, Newsweek asked a panel of experts and survey participants to evaluate quality, performance, and in-state peer recommendations.

“We’re committed to providing not only leading-edge care, but a positive patient experience,” said Heather Sheridan, vice president of ambulatory specialty operations at M Health Fairview. "I am grateful for the work each member of our team does to achieve this recognition.”
