Westwood, NJ – [October 2026] – Hackensack Meridian Pascack Valley Medical Center has earned accreditation from Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) as a Center of Excellence in four specialty areas: Complex Endometriosis Care, Fibroid Care, Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery, and Robotic Surgery. These accreditations recognize Pascack Valley Medical Center’s ongoing commitment to delivering the highest standards of patient safety, quality care, and surgical excellence.
Achieving SRC’s Center of Excellence demonstrates that Pascack Valley Medical Center has met rigorous nationally and internationally recognized standards for clinical quality, patient outcomes, safety protocols, and continuous performance improvement. Not all hospitals and surgeons pursue accreditation, and not all organizations that undergo the comprehensive review process receive this distinction.
“These four Center of Excellence accreditations reflect our commitment to providing women in Westwood and the surrounding communities with access to the highest standards of care,” said Yitzhack Asulin, M.D., FACS, Master Surgeon in Robotic Surgery, Master Surgeon in Fibroids and Endometriosis Surgery, and Director of Robotic Surgery at Pascack Valley Medical Center. “Endometriosis and fibroids can be complex and debilitating conditions, and these designations ensure that patients receive expert, comprehensive treatment close to home. By utilizing advanced surgical techniques and evidence-based care, we can help preserve fertility and support women in achieving their goals for future pregnancy when desired.”
The newly awarded accreditations further reinforce Pascack Valley Medical Center’s dedication to advancing women’s health and minimally invasive surgical care. Through specialized expertise, advanced technology, and evidence-based treatment approaches, Pascack Valley provides patients with comprehensive care options for complex gynecologic conditions while helping to improve outcomes and recovery times.
Health care facilities and surgeons seeking SRC accreditation undergo an extensive assessment and inspection process to ensure they meet the organization’s established standards and requirements. These standards evaluate surgical volumes, facility resources and equipment, clinical pathways, standardized operating procedures, patient education practices, and ongoing quality improvement efforts. The accreditation process also provides opportunities for staff education and implementation of best practices designed to enhance patient care and services.
“We’re proud to recognize Pascack Valley Medical Center for its commitment to advancing and providing quality care for all patients,” said Gary M. Pratt, CEO of SRC. “These accreditations signal that this facility is among the best in these specialties and is dedicated to delivering the highest level of care possible.”
These four accreditations support Pascack Valley Medical Center’s commitment to expanding access to advanced surgical care throughout the region, ensuring patients can receive expert treatment close to home from highly skilled specialists using the latest minimally invasive and robotic surgical techniques.
