Abilene, Texas-based Hendrick Health has opened a gastroenterology center to consolidate its clinic visits and endoscopy procedures.
The 23,493-square-foot Hendrick Gastroenterology Center has 21 exam rooms, four procedure rooms, medication management and dedicated pre-op and recovery spaces. The new facility will begin seeing patients March 16, according to a March 9 news release.
Three of the system’s gastroenterologists, Steven Smith, MD; Sam Davis, MD; and Patrick Ramirez, MD, will relocate their practice to the new site.
Hendrick began renovating the original building in November 2024, and the opening coincides with National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month.
The integrated site is designed to improve care continuity and streamline the patient experience across West Central Texas, according to the release.
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.
