Ascension Saint Alexius earns distinction in gynecological care

Ascension Saint Alexius achieved accreditation as a Center of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology from Surgical Review Corporation (SRC). SRC is a global nonprofit accreditation organization focused on driving quality improvement and program growth across healthcare programs worldwide. For over two decades, it has diligently accredited healthcare providers worldwide, including hospitals, freestanding outpatient facilities, surgeons, and medical professionals. SRC accreditations are unique as they acknowledge both the facility and the physicians who deliver exceptional patient care. 

“This achievement highlights our dedication to providing patients with the highest quality of care. This milestone reflects Saint Alexius’s unwavering focus on achieving superior safety and clinical results while providing an exceptional experience for every patient,” said Aditya Neravetla M.D., chief medical officer, Ascension Saint Alexius.

Ascension Saint Alexius was evaluated based on rigorous and proven standards set by SRC. Accreditation requirements encompass physicians’ surgical expertise and experience, the standardization of clinical pathways, consultative services, equipment and instruments, and patient education. 

Performance rankings like these provide an objective measure of a health system’s ability to deliver consistent high-performing care across the communities they serve. In addition to this accolade, Saint Alexius earned a five-star rating from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. It also earned a recognition from the American Heart Association for its continued efforts in improving cardiac and stroke care, a “high-performing” distinction from U.S. News & World Report for its treatment of knee replacement and heart failure, a spot on Forbes’ inaugural list of the nation’s top hospitals for 2026, and a Healthgrades Patient Safety Excellence Award as one of the best hospitals in Illinois for patient safety.
