Birmingham Heart Clinic will have majority ownership over the new ASC, while Ascension will have minority ownership.
The ASC will be housed in a 9,000-square-foot clinic that is already directly connected to the hospital campus. An estimated $11 million will go into renovating the facility for cardiovascular use.
The groups are working with an architect on final plans, and the clinic is expected to open to patients in 2026.
ASC will offer diagnostic coronary angiograms and coronary interventions. The clinic will also house three catheterization labs, patient waiting areas and imaging centers.
Ascension St. Vincent has partnered with Birmingham Heart Clinic over several years, according to the report.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
