13 Virtua-Affiliated Surgery Centers in N.J., Pa. & Md. Ranked Among Nation's Best

November 10, 2026 - Surgical Center of South Jersey in Mount Laurel Earned Top Spot in New Jersey

Newsweek has again recognized multiple Virtua Health-affiliated ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) among the country's best. Thirteen Virtua ASCs earned a place on the 2027 America's Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers list, including 11 in New Jersey.

Moreover, four of New Jersey's five highest-ranked centers are affiliated with Virtua Health, South Jersey's largest health system. These include Surgical Center of South Jersey in Mount Laurel, which earned the number-one ranking in New Jersey. See the full list of Virtua's top-ranked centers below.

Of the 5,000 centers analyzed nationwide, only 750 earned a spot on the list.

The Newsweek rankings emphasize quality and safety, with quality metrics accounting for 50% of the overall score. Peer evaluation, patient experience, and accreditation also contribute to the results. Five Virtua-affiliated centers received additional recognition for a specific specialty, including orthopedics, gastroenterology, or ophthalmology.

"We're extremely proud that so many Virtua-affiliated ASCs continue to make Newsweek's annual list of the best ASCs, year after year," said Virtua Health's Barry Graf, senior vice president of partnerships and business development. "This recognition tells patients that our ASCs adhere to the highest standards of excellence, resulting in outstanding care and outcomes for our patients."

The list, compiled by Newsweek and global data firm Statista, highlights facilities distinguished by the quality of care they provide across a variety of outpatient procedures. It provides a valuable resource for patients exploring surgical options, and showcases organizations helping advance accessible, efficient and patient-centered care in an increasingly important area of modern medicine.

Ambulatory surgery centers play a vital role in the U.S. health care system. These specialized facilities offer the convenience of same-day care for procedures that do not require an overnight stay, while maintaining high standards for quality and safety.
