The Salt Lake Surgical Center has become the only surgical center in the Salt Lake area to become accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, Chicago.

Center officials said accreditation is becoming increasingly important because the number of people receiving care outside hospitals is growing.The center was accredited after a team of Joint Commission reviewers conducted an on-site survey in March and found the center complied with the commission's national standards.
