The ASC would be built on the second level of the facility, which opened in 2017.

The ASC would have two ambulatory surgical areas, pre- and post-operative recovery rooms, and physician offices.

The hospital would invest $5.6 million to build the ASC.

Nearby health system Day Kimball Healthcare in Putnam, Conn., objected to the proposal at a state hearing Aug. 12. Day Kimball said Hartford’s surgery center would sap surgical volume from its ASC. The state has 60 days to rule on the application.
