Providence Alaska Medical Center earns SRC's Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery accreditation. Hospital recognized for meeting rigorous national and international standards for robotic surgery. Anchorage, Alaska - Providence Alaska Medical Center has achieved accreditation from the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) as a Center of Excellence in Robotic Surgery. As an SRC accredited Center of Excellence, PAMC meets both nationally and internationally recognized standards for robotic surgery. Accreditation requires hospitals to meet rigorous, measurable standards across volume, outcomes, infrastructure and care delivery. The robotic surgery program at PAMC began providing robot-assisted surgery in 2000 and recently surpassed 10,000 robotic surgeries performed. "Earning this accreditation gives patients confidence they are receiving advanced, high-quality care from an experienced team," said Daniel Rossi, D.O., leader of the Robotics steering committee at Providence. "It also reflects our ongoing commitment to excellence in safety, innovation and clinical quality." SRC is an internationally recognized, independent accreditation body that evaluates surgical quality and patient safety, accrediting hundreds of leading hospitals and surgical facilities across the United States and globally. PAMC continues to invest in robotic technology. In 2025, the hospital added the da Vinci 5, the newest model of the robot console that allows surgeons to perform minimally invasive procedures using several small incisions. For patients, this means shorter recovery times and fewer risks of postoperative complications. "This distinction highlights Providence as a leader in delivering advanced surgical care in Alaska, where access to specialized services can be limited by geography," said Kristen Solana Walkinshaw, M.D., chief medical officer of Providence Alaska. "By investing in robotic technology and maintaining high clinical standards, Providence is helping ensure patients can receive complex care close to home." Healthcare facilities and surgeons seeking an SRC accreditation undergo an extensive assessment and inspection process to ensure the applicant meets SRC's proven standards and requirements. These requirements include surgical volumes, facility equipment, clinical pathways and standardized operating procedures, and an emphasis on patient education and continuous quality assessment. Inspectors also educate staff in the accredited departments on best practices to help an organization improve its care and services. "We're proud to recognize Providence Alaska Medical Center for its commitment to advancing and providing quality care for all patients," said Gary M. Pratt, CEO of SRC. "This accreditation signals that this facility is among the best in this specialty and is dedicated to delivering the highest level of care possible."

We are proud to welcome them to the Ocean Beach Health family." The addition of these five providers reflects OBH's ongoing commitment to ensuring residents and visitors have access to care close to home. As a public hospital district, Ocean Beach Health continues to invest in expanding local services and recruiting skilled providers who share a dedication to serving rural communities.
