MarinHealth Partners with UCSF Health in San Rafael Ambulatory Surgery Center Investment

MarinHealth Medical Center (MarinHealth) announced its investment in Marin Specialty Surgery Center (MSSC), a state-of-the-art multi-specialty ambulatory surgery center in San Rafael, California, effective March 29, 2024. With this investment, the 14,000-square-foot freestanding facility will operate as a joint venture among co-investors MarinHealth, UCSF Health, and local community surgeons.

“Partnering with MSSC, a highly-respected surgery center located in the heart of Marin County, not only strengthens our ability to provide more options for our physicians but also greatly enhances the experience for patients, including easy scheduling, convenient access, and shorter wait times,” commented MarinHealth CEO David Klein, MD. “MSSC complements our outpatient surgery services and will extend access to high-quality surgical services in the North Bay.”

MSSC provides services for surgeries and procedures that do not require overnight hospital stays. The advanced multidisciplinary center is fitted with the latest technology. Suites are designed with patient safety and comfort in mind and offer three fully equipped and integrated operating rooms, one procedure room, and a 23-hour stay capability to facilitate orthopedics, pain management, urology, vascular surgery, and plastic surgery procedures.

“This new partnership brings together the largest health system in Marin with one of the most advanced ambulatory surgery centers in the Bay Area. This is a natural collaboration that furthers MSSC’s mission of being a destination for patients looking to have outpatient surgery,” said Brian Su, MD, chairman of MSSC.

“We are thrilled to work with MarinHealth and UCSF Health to continue our legacy of caring for the North Bay community,” said Ramana Naidu, MD, medical director of MSSC. “Together, we are raising the bar for ambulatory surgery in this state-of-the-art center.”

The facility has earned certifications, awards, and accolades from patients and physicians alike, including:

  • A 97% net promoter score
  • A physician satisfaction survey score of 100%
  • Accreditation from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), certifying that it meets and exceeds nationally recognized standards of quality care.

In addition to the MSSC location in San Rafael, MarinHealth offers inpatient and outpatient surgery at MarinHealth Medical Center in Greenbrae.

MSSC is located at 1 Thorndale Road, Suite 210, San Rafael, CA 94903. To learn more, visit MarinSpecialtySurgeryCenter.com.
