PE GI Solutions entered into a strategic partnership with Emerson Hospital to open Emerson Endoscopy & Digestive Health Center. The brand-new center is officially recognized as an accredited center by The Joint Commission and is now accepting patients.
Emerson Endoscopy & Digestive Health Center earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Ambulatory Surgery Center Accreditation by demonstrating compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal of Approval® is a symbol of quality that reflects a health care organization’s commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.
Emerson Endoscopy & Digestive Health Center is a spacious, state-of-the art facility that provides patient-centered care and necessary procedures in a comfortable setting. The facility is equipped with cutting-edge equipment and is the only hospital-owned outpatient endoscopy center in the region. The Center complements Emerson’s hospital-based endoscopy unit, allowing patients the choice of being treated in the hospital or outpatient setting.
Three experienced, fellowship-trained gastroenterologists will be performing procedures at the Emerson Endoscopy & Digestive Health Center: John Dowd, DO; Andrea Fribush, MD; and Jennifer Nayor, MD.
“We focused on leveraging the strategic partnership to create a safe and efficient experience for all patients, which is our top priority. Partnering with PE GI Solutions has allowed us to tap into their extensive expertise in the GI ambulatory surgery center (ASC) community,” said Dr. John Dowd, Medical Director of Endoscopy at Emerson Hospital and Co-Medical Director of Emerson Endoscopy & Digestive Health Center.
Emerson Hospital entered into the strategic partnership with PE GI Solutions to leverage and utilize their management services. The PE Center Solutions platform offers a number of opportunities for GI physicians, health systems, and hospitals to build, develop, and optimize a new or existing GI-specific ASC.
“A strategic partnership with Emerson Hospital was carefully executed to ensure the overall goal of providing the highest level of patient care at an ASC. We are excited to team with Emerson, a leading independent community hospital just outside of Boston, Massachusetts, that has a deep clinical affiliation with Mass General Brigham,” said Rob Puglisi, VP of Operations at PE GI Solutions. “We look forward to continuing our work together as patients come to Emerson Endoscopy & Digestive Health Center for their GI procedures.”
