The Surgical Center at Columbia Orthopaedic Group Named One of America's Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers for 2027 by Newsweek for the 7th Time

The Surgical Center at Columbia Orthopaedic Group has been named to Newsweek's America's Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers 2027 list for the 7th time, adding another prestigious recognition for the physicians and surgical team serving patients throughout Mid-Missouri.

The annual ranking is presented by Newsweek in collaboration with Statista, a global data and business intelligence organization. For 2027, the program recognizes 750 leading ambulatory surgery centers across the United States. Centers were evaluated using four primary areas: quality metrics, peer evaluations, patient experience, and accreditations.

For Columbia Orthopaedic Group, the recognition represents something larger than an award. It reinforces the organization's commitment to providing patients with coordinated orthopaedic care from diagnosis through recovery.

Nationally Recognized Surgical Care, Right Here in Mid-Missouri

Patients who require surgery can receive care from Columbia Orthopaedic Group physicians within an integrated orthopaedic care model designed to reduce unnecessary handoffs throughout the patient journey.

The Surgical Center plays an important role in that experience, allowing patients to receive specialized surgical care from the physicians and teams they know and trust.

Being recognized among America's best ambulatory surgery centers reflects the work happening every day across the Surgical Center, from physicians and nurses to clinical teams, administrators, and support staff.

The Newsweek ranking specifically considers measures associated with quality, patient experience, professional recommendations, and accreditation.

Recognition for an Exceptional Team

Columbia Orthopaedic Group is proud of the continued recognition earned by The Surgical  Center and, more importantly, the people responsible for delivering that level of care.

For patients across Mid-Missouri, access to highly specialized orthopaedic care does not have to mean traveling hours away or navigating a large hospital system. Columbia Orthopaedic Group has built an integrated model where patients can move from evaluation and imaging through treatment, surgery, and recovery with fewer handoffs along the way.

The organization's broader care model combines specialty orthopaedic care, imaging, surgical services, rehabilitation, and additional services under one roof.

The latest Newsweek recognition provides another reason for Columbia Orthopaedic Group to be proud of The Surgical Center team and another reassurance for patients choosing where to receive their care.

Congratulations to everyone at The Surgical Center at Columbia Orthopaedic Group on being named one of Newsweek's America's Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers for 2027.
