Florida Hospital Waterman cares about your care.  Because we are committed to continually improving the quality of care you receive at our hospital, we have joined the Florida Surgical Care Initiative (FSCI).

FSCI is a collaboration of Florida's hospitals, led by the Florida Hospital Association and the American College of Surgeons and its Florida chapter, that focuses on preventing surgical complications and improving quality of care.

To help hospitals understand where complications are occurring and why, FSCI participants collect data on patient risk factors and their outcomes after a surgical procedure.  Hospitals across the state work together to review best practices and determine the best ways to prevent complications from occurring.  When complications are prevented, patients recover more quickly and care is less costly.

Our goal is to improve care for all of our patients, and make Florida a national leader in quality surgical care.

In keeping with the patient-friendly atmosphere at Florida Hospital Waterman, a pre-admission testing area is designated just off the main lobby, where patients receive lab work, EKGs and anesthesia interviews prior to surgery.

The surgical suites are designed to incorporate the latest medical technology and optimal patient care by centrally locating all services related to outpatient and surgical procedures.
