Virtua Memorial receives Distinctions for Spine Surgery

Virtua Memorial Hospital was designated an Aetna Institute of Quality (IOQ) for its spine surgery program. Designated IOQ facilities demonstrate excellence in care, a commitment to continuous improvement and represent an exceptional value to its members. The goal of Aetna’s IOQ is to assist members in choosing facilities that provide consistently high-quality and high-value care.

Virtua Memorial Hospital is also pleased to announce that we have been designated a Blue Distinction® Center for Spine Surgery by the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.

Blue Distinction® is a nationwide program of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association (BCBSA) that recognizes facilities that have demonstrated expertise in delivering high quality healthcare and improved outcomes for patients.

In addition to our designation as a Blue Distinction Center for Spine Surgery, Virtua Memorial has also met the BCBSA’s specific set of rigorous standards to be designated as a Blue Distinction Center for Specialty Care in Knee and Hip Replacement.
