St. Joseph’s Wayne Hospital Ambulatory Care Center

The Ambulatory Care Center for Surgical and Interventional Services at St. Joseph’s Wayne Hospital provides comprehensive services for patients who are undergoing surgery, interventional radiology and cardiac catheterization procedures both before and after the procedures.  In addition, patients who receive chemotherapy or intravenous infusion therapy, pain management services or who are undergoing outpatient minor surgical or medical procedures are also served in the Ambulatory Care Center. 

The Health Care Team

The health care team consists of experienced physicians, registered nurses and support staff that have received advanced training and are skilled in caring for patients who are undergoing a range of surgical or other interventional procedures.  Accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations and certified by the New Jersey State Department of Health, the Ambulatory Care Center fully complies with the highest clinical, educational and safety standards.

Care For Patients

Following admission to the Center, every patient is fully assessed by members of the health care team. A registered nurse will provide information and education regarding the procedure or treatment the patient is about to undergo.  Patients will have the opportunity to discuss their treatment and ask questions.  Once the procedure is completed, the patient will recover in the privacy of his room and will be closely monitored by nursing staff.  Instructions related to postoperative care, managing pain and recovery after discharge will be modified to meet the unique needs of each individual patient.

Center of Excellence

For two successive years, the Ambulatory Care Center for Surgical and Interventional Services has been ranked number one in the nation for patient satisfaction by the Jackson Organization, a national company that measures patients’ satisfaction with the services and care they received during a hospital stay.
