The ASC will occupy 30,000 square feet on the second floor of the 60,000-square-foot MOB. The surgery center will feature eight operating rooms and will handle the majority of outpatient surgeries as well as endoscopic and pain management procedures currently performed in the main hospital, according to a hospital news release.
Construction on the building is expected to take one year. The cost of the ASC, along with a new lobby connecting the MOB to the hospital and a separate patient access corridor linking the ASC to a new ten bed short stay unit, is estimated at $15 million.
