Froedtert Hospital has become the first hospital in Wisconsin to receive national verification as a Comprehensive Inpatient Vascular Center through the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Vascular Verification Program (VVP), in partnership with the SVS.
The designation also recognizes Froedtert Hospital as an ACS Surgical Quality Partner, a title awarded to institutions that meet rigorous standards in surgical care and demonstrate a commitment to continuous quality improvement.
“Achieving vascular verification from the American College of Surgeons and the Society for Vascular Surgery is a testament to our team’s unwavering commitment to excellence in patient care,” said Peter Rossi, MD, associate director of the Heart and Vascular Service Line for the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin health network and division chief of vascular and endovascular surgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin. “This recognition reflects the skill, collaboration and dedication of our multidisciplinary team in providing the highest standards of vascular care to our community.”
The Vascular Verification Program is an evidence-based initiative designed to help hospitals build and strengthen quality improvement infrastructure within vascular programs.
