Dickson Medical Associates COO Jerry Churchwell said there are no ambulatory surgery centers between Nashville and Jackson, which means patients have to travel to receive outpatient surgical procedures.
Mr. Churchwell said the facility’s surgical services will include orthopedics, general surgery, endoscopy, ear, nose, and throat procedures, urology, outpatient vascular services, podiatry and breast biopsies.
Construction for the center is scheduled to begin in May 2022 and is expected to open in summer 2023.
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.
