It is misleading. It is a surgery center. They do not do complicated abdominal surgeries that require post-op hospitalization.

If you concentrate of endoscopy, elective orthopedic surgeries, and outpatient surgery, the infection rates will be much lower.

compare that to colon and pancreatic surgery or complicated thoracic/lung/heart surgery.

I give them credit though for cutting their infection rate from 0.3% to 0.001%
