Compass Surgical Partners and local physicians have opened the Cardiovascular Surgical Institute of Northwest Florida in Panama City. 

The 8,000-square-foot ASC began performing procedures last month. It offers interventional cardiology, electrophysiology and vascular surgery, and is the only outpatient catheterization lab within 100 miles, according to a Jan. 28 news release.

The center includes two catheterization labs equipped with Philips Angio imaging systems. Services include coronary interventions, cardiac device implants, atrial fibrillation ablations, peripheral artery procedures and dialysis access care.

Compass and its partners plan to seek accreditation from the Accreditation Commission for Health Care.

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.
