Here are five takeaways:

1. The center in Champaign has been operating from nearly 20 years.

2. Over the past five years, Champaign SurgiCenter’s surgery volume has jumped 17 percent, leading the center to file the CON for relocation.

3. A state board sent a tentative date to review the CON application on Jan. 24, 2017.

4. Carle aims to break ground on the new center next spring and open its doors in 2019.

5. Since 2013, Illinois-based Christie Clinic has held a minority interest in the ASC.
