What is Rockford Ambulatory Surgery Center?

Rockford Ambulatory Surgery Center (RASC) is an independently operated facility designed to offer patients a safe, comfortable and hygienic place to have their procedures performed by their own surgeons and avoid the excessive costs often affiliated with a local area hospital.

More than 90,000 procedures have been performed for children and adults in the fully equipped and professionally staffed facility since 1994. Our patient satisfaction rating is 99% and RASC meets accreditation standards for the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), is certified by Medicare, and is licensed by the state of Illinois.

The accreditation process sets standards for our practices of patient care, safety, quality efforts, administrative involvement, medical record maintenance and professional development of our staff. This process sets high standards for us to maintain in order to provide the best quality of patient care.

Our goal at Rockford Ambulatory Surgery Center is to provide the highest quality outpatient surgical services and pain management for the best value to our patients, customers and community.

Because Rockford Ambulatory Surgery Center is independent, physicians are not employed by the facility. You and/or your physician can make the decision to have your procedure at Rockford Ambulatory Surgery Center.

100% Patient Satisfaction is Our Main Goal.

100% patient satisfaction is our main goal.

Because we are interested in meeting our patients' and families' expectations, we request that all of our patients complete and return a Patient Satisfaction Survey.

Our facility has an outstanding record of patient satisfaction. Our standards for high-quality care are demonstrated in our patients' positive responses to our survey. Patients like the follow-up phone calls from our nursing staff and the friendly environment our staff helps to create. We continually assess how we can improve our facility and the services we offer.

Patient comfort is of the utmost importance. In addition to the warm, comfortable design of the center, our highly trained professional staff makes sure that every outpatient surgical experience is centered around you, the patient.
