What does it mean to be a COE?
St. John Providence Weight Loss is recognized as a Bariatric Center of Excellence (COE) by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery. This means that St. John Providence Weight Loss' bariatric surgery program meets the highest standards for quality and outcomes and produces the lowest complication rates. In December 2008, the program was named a Blue Distinction Center for Bariatric Surgery by Blue Cross Blue Shield, a designation that further reflects the high quality of the program.
