Saltzer Surgery Center has been accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). As an accredited organization, Saltzer Surgery Center demonstrates an ongoing commitment to high-quality care and patient safety.

Ambulatory health care organizations seeking AAAHC accreditation undergo an extensive self-assessment and onsite survey by expert surveyors – physicians, nurses, and administrators — who are actively involved in ambulatory care.

“At Saltzer Surgery Center, we are excited to receive national accreditation that recognizes our staff’s commitment to meet AAAHC expectations for outstanding patient care and safety,” said Sean McCallister, administrator. “We welcome the opportunity to provide more affordable care in our conveniently located same-day surgery center.”

Located at Ten Mile & I-84 in Meridian, Saltzer Surgery Center offers affordable, outpatient surgical procedures with five operating rooms and a procedure room equipped with the latest technology and staffed by an experienced clinical team. Medical specialties include orthopedics, general surgery, dermatology, ophthalmology, gynecology, podiatry and otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat).

The state-of-the-art surgical suites are custom designed for procedures that do not require an overnight stay for patients. Hallways, pre-op and post-op areas are spacious for maximum comfort and maneuverability to ensure maximum efficiency.

Opened in 2021, Saltzer Surgery Center is a joint venture between Intermountain Healthcare and community physicians.

“As a joint venture, the surgery center creates an environment focused on providing an extraordinary patient experience while reducing costs and increasing efficiency through centralized management,” McCallister said.

The first-floor surgery center is adjacent to Saltzer Health’s new medical imaging center equipped with MRI, X-ray, CT, Dexa and ultrasound capabilities.
