The ERAS® Society has growing activities in the USA. Following the 3rd World Congress for the ERAS® Society in Washington DC in May of this year, we are now happy to announce the first ERAS® Society Implementation program just started in collaboration with the CtSQC in the state of Connecticut. The first of a series of ERAS Implementation program involves four hospitals in Connecticut: St Francis Hospital, Norwalk Hospital, Lawrence & Memorial hospital and Middlesex hospital.

The implementation program will continue in a few phases where most of the hospitals involved in major surgery will be trained using the ERAS® Society Implementation program.

For questions about the developments in the USA and interest in the ERAS® Society Implementation program, please contact Kristina Wikander at the ERAS® Society office: kristina.wikander@erassociety.org
