Johns Hopkins becomes the only Level 1 children’s surgery center in Tampa Bay

May 19, 2022 - The American College of Surgeons (ACS) has designated Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital as a Level 1 children’s surgery center. Johns Hopkins All Children’s is the third children’s hospital in Florida and the only one in Tampa Bay to achieve the Level 1 verification, according the hospital's news release. “Level 1 verification for children’s surgery tells families and physicians that a center has the expertise, facilities, capabilities and processes to provide safe, high-quality surgical care to children,” Paul Danielson, chair of the department of surgery at Johns Hopkins All Children’s, said in a statement. “The verification program is based on other nationally recognized American College of Surgeons programs that have measurably improved surgical quality and have prevented complications, reduced costs and saved lives.” Less than 50 hospitals in the U.S. have achieved this designation.
