The 5,000-square-foot Animas Surgery Center at Escalante opened in June. The center plans to accommodate six to 10 outpatient surgeries per day in its two operating rooms.

The first procedure was performed by otolaryngologist Phil Wiley, MD. The ASC will focus on ENT and hand surgeries to start and later expand to additional procedures. 

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.
