North Carolina officials deny CON proposal for Surgery Center of Wilmington: 5 key points

North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services denied investors' proposal to build Surgery Center of Wilmington (N.C.), according to Wilmington Biz.

Here are five key points:

1. The ASC would have had three operating rooms.

2. The Surgery Center of Wilmington also sought to build one procedure room.

3. Health officials gave conditional approval for Wilmington SurgCare, which includes adding three operating rooms and one minor procedure room to the ASC.

4. In May, the department gave North Carolina-based EmergeOrtho approval for a new ASC operating room in Leland, N.C. The practice was vying against North Carolina-based Novant Health for the space.

5. Novant Health appealed the department's decision to deny the health system's proposal to build an ASC with an operating room in Leland. The judge will make a decision regarding Novant Health's appeal, which the N.C. Court of Appeals could appeal.
