The multimillion-dollar addition will allow staff to move the existing GI suite from the ER area to a self-enclosed unit. The new space is designed like an outpatient surgical center, but located within the hospital, according to the report. 

The addition is part of a three-phase overhaul of Weirton Medical Center’s emergency department.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
