Collaborating with University of Louisville Physicians for your care

Norton Children’s Hospital is verified as a Level I Children’s Surgery Center by the American College of Surgeons Children’s Surgery Verification Quality Improvement Program (ACS CSV).

The ACS CSV program was developed to improve the quality of children’s surgical care. CSV standards ensure that children needing surgery receive care under a multidisciplinary program with quality improvement and safety processes, data collection and appropriate resources provided to them as patients at the hospital.

Our commitment to quality care begins with appropriately trained staff and leadership from surgeons who participate in meetings throughout the year to review the surgery center’s surgical outcomes. The surgical team seeks continuous improvement to enhance the structure, process and outcomes of the center.
