The Woodlands Hospital
Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital provides weight loss (bariatric) surgery for morbidly obese patients, with a dedicated area of private rooms and specially trained nurses and staff attuned to the specific needs of weight loss patients. Board-certified surgeon Jason Balette, M.D., is the medical director of Memorial Hermann The Woodlands bariatrics program.
The surgical weight loss program at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands Hospital has received the full approval of the ACS BSCN Accreditation Program Advisory Committee and is officially recognized as an American College of Surgeons Level 2b Accredited Bariatric Center. This designation means that Memorial Hermann The Woodlands met the essential criteria that ensure it is fully capable of supporting a bariatric surgery care program and that its institutional performance meets the requirements outlined by the ACS BSCN Accreditation Program.
Established by the American College of Surgeons in 2005 in an effort to extend established quality improvement practices to all disciplines of surgical care, the ACS BSCN Accreditation Program provides independent and rigorous confirmation that a bariatric surgery center has demonstrated its commitment to providing the highest quality care for its bariatric surgery patients. Accredited bariatric surgery centers provide not only the hospital resources necessary for optimal care of morbidly obese patients, but also the support and resources that are necessary to address the entire spectrum of care and needs of bariatric patients, from the prehospital phase through the postoperative care and treatment process.
