3/26/2026
TUCSON, AZ (March 26, 2026) – Northwest Medical Center recently achieved accreditation from the Surgical Review Corporation (SRC) as a Center of Excellence in Surgical Services, including Robotic Surgery, Hernia Surgery, Colorectal Surgery, and Minimally Invasive Surgery. This accreditation recognizes NMC’s commitment and high standard of delivery of quality patient care and safety.
In addition, three of our surgeons have received the following Master Surgeon certifications:
Status as an accredited Surgical Center of Excellence means that NMC has met nationally and internationally recognized standards. Not all pursue accreditation, and among those who do, not all meet the standards to earn it.
“This accreditation demonstrates our commitment to work as a team as we put patients first and makes their experiences exceptional,” says General Surgeon Seda Bourikian, M.D., who practices at Northwest General Surgery at Tucson.
Healthcare facilities and surgeons seeking an SRC accreditation undergo an extensive assessment and inspection process to ensure they meet SRC’s proven standards and requirements. These requirements include surgical volumes, facility equipment, clinical pathways and standardized operating procedures, an emphasis on patient education and continuous quality assessment. Inspectors educate staff in the accredited departments on best practices to help an organization improve its care and services.
“We’re proud to recognize Northwest 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.”
