Salem Surgical Center LLC has elected not to move ahead with the facility, a 2,100-square-foot ASC with three ORs, and face the hospital’s challenge but has expressed interest in partnering with a hospital before moving forward.

However, representatives for Lewis-Gale and Carilion Clinic, which has several hospitals in the area, indicated neither plans to partner with the ASC developer on the project.
