Whiteville, NC – August 12, 2022 – Columbus Regional Healthcare System recently achieved accreditation from SRC as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery. This accreditation recognizes Columbus Regional’s commitment and high standard of delivery of quality patient care and safety.
Status as an accredited Robotic Surgery Center of Excellence means that Columbus Regional has met nationally and internationally recognized standards. Not all hospitals and surgeons seek accreditation; not all that undergo the rigorous inspection process are granted accreditation.

Beyond the technology, the level of collaboration between surgeons, staff, and leadership to achieve this accreditation validates our commitment of ensuring patient safety and quality.” Said Jason Beck, CRHS CEO.
Health care facilities and surgeons seeking an SRC accreditation undergo an extensive assessment and
inspection process to ensure the applicant meets SRC’s proven standards and requirements.

Inspectors educate staff in accredited departments on best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.
“We’re proud to recognize Columbus Regional Healthcare System for its commitment to advancing and
providing quality care for all patients,” said Gary M. Pratt, CEO of SRC. “This accreditation signals that this facility is among the best in this specialty and is dedicated to delivering the highest level of care possible.”
