The Joint Center at Adirondack Medical Center in Saranac Lake, N.Y., received certification by the Healthcare Facilities Accreditation Program for its joint replacement surgery program, reports WCAX.

AMC performs roughly 400 orthopedic surgeries annually, according to Bart Szczech, MD, the hospital's director of joint replacement surgery.

"[It's] a stamp of approval that says, 'Hey, things here are done to code,'" said Dr. Szczech. "Right now we are proud to say we are one of the first institutions nationwide to have this and we're definitely the first in New York state."

The hospital provides a wide range of inpatient and outpatient medical and surgical services.

Adironock Health has over 60 physicians, board-certified in 25 specialties.
