University of California San Diego Health broke ground Nov. 10 on a 180,000-square-foot outpatient pavilion in La Jolla, Calif., that will expand orthopedic, spine and neurosurgical services.
The Gary and Mary West Outpatient Pavilion is slated to open in 2030 and will bring specialty care, advanced imaging, surgery, recovery and rehabilitation into one facility, according to a Nov. 10 news release.
The pavilion will feature an ASC with nine operating rooms, two procedure rooms and three interventional radiology suites, including two biplane angiography units for neurosurgical procedures. It will also house an MRI procedural unit offering focused ultrasound, MRI-guided laser ablation and neuromodulation implants.
The facility will include indoor and outdoor rehabilitation spaces, a 23-hour postsurgical recovery unit and the La Jolla medical campus’s first urgent care.
The project is supported by a $40 million investment from La Jolla, Calif.-based West Health, allowing complex inpatient care to expand at Jacobs Medical Center and outpatient cancer services to grow adjacent to Moores Cancer Center.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
