In attendance at the celebration was the center’s founder, 101-year-old Joseph Belshe, MD. 

Dr. Belshe founded the center in 1972 after talking with physicians who were frustrated by having to send their patients to hospitals for procedures they could perform themselves. 

The St. Cloud surgical center was the second ASC in the country and the first in Minnesota, the report said.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
