History

Fresno Surgical Hospital FSH is a fullylicensed Joint Commissionaccredited hospital that delivers awardwinning surgical care and patient satisfaction We are a physicianowned hospital that focuses solely on providing advanced affordable surgical care

Each year FSH serves approximately 12000 patients in our Central California service area including Fresno Madera Merced Kings and Tulare Counties Our patients enjoy a nontraditional hotellike setting and a commitment to quality care and patient satisfaction Twentyseven private inpatient suites give patients and their families an environment that promotes relaxation comfort and healing

FSH was founded by two orthopedic surgeons Alan H Pierrot MD and Thomas Thaxter MD who had a vision of improving healthcare Originally named Fresno Surgery Center FSC the facility opened as an outpatient surgery center in 1984 Within the first year FSC was in the top 10 percent of all freestanding outpatient surgery centers in the nation based on the number of patients served The centerrsquos approach to patient service was also unique The rare combination of compassion hospitality and surgical excellence continues to be our distinguishing factor

We were the first facility in the United States to provide elective surgery and postsurgical care in a nonhospital setting Overwhelming popularity among patients surgeons and staff established FSC as the leader in the nationwide trend toward elective surgery facilities In fact we have consistently been recognized as a top performer both in the state of California and nationally

In 1988 FSC was designated by the California State Legislature as the first participant in a pilot project and opened our postsurgical recovery care center This expanded our scope of service to include overnight postsurgical care the first facility in the nation to do so in a nonhospital setting

To prepare for this transition we worked with leading restaurants and hotels like the Ritz Carlton to develop our signature brand of patient service The impact of this is still seen in our hospital today Each private inpatient suite is equipped with hotellike amenities and showcases unique artwork from regional artists Patients are also treated to restaurantquality meals prepared by culinary schooltrained chefs Whatrsquos more our staff is trained in hospitality service techniques to ensure our patients receive highcaliber service during their stay in our hospital

In 1993 we sought to become a licensed acutecare hospital Though we still admit only surgical patients this hospital licensure enables us to serve inpatients including Medicare patients without restrictions on the length of their recovery stay

In 2005 Fresno Surgery Center earned the Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval which is considered the gold standard in health care and is an internationally recognized symbol of quality We continue to hold that designation today

Fresno Surgery Center was renamed Fresno Surgical Hospital in 2006 This change more appropriately reflected the surgical services provided and distinguished the facility as a licensed acute care hospital rather than as an ambulatory surgery center
