Orange Coast committed to becoming a center of excellence, which they accomplished in 2005. Which means that we have evidence-based protocols that are in place, order sets, clinical pathways, education and because of this we have a multidisciplinary team from the dietitian to the nurse to the physical therapist that are all well educated and well versed in caring for bariatric patients. They have the best equipment available for the patients in the operating room as well as on the floors. They are also committed to making sure that the entire hospital is friendly to patients who are overweight including the waiting rooms or wherever you are in the hospital. We put a lot of emphasis on treating patients with dignity, understanding the complexities of bariatric patient, so that when patients come in have a hospital experience, they are not met with negative attitudes or people that do not understand their disease process.
