July 15, 2024- From tonsillectomies to joint replacements, all types of surgeries are becoming less invasive and more convenient, requiring fewer hospitalizations and leading to a rise in the number of surgery centers. The U.S. outpatient care market is expected to hit $740 billion in 2024 and grow by an additional 4.45 percent annually through 2029, according to Statista. Today, there are more than 6,000 Medicare-certified ambulatory surgery centers in the country that can offer top-quality, cost-effective care without the stress of a hospital stay. Because of this, we are pleased to have the opportunity for the fifth year to evaluate America’s Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers for 2025.
Last year, the Newsweek list encompassed 550 facilities—up from 400 in 2021—based on the recommendations of medical professionals and analysis of facility performance data. This year, we aim to provide the same thorough evaluation of the expanding industry.
