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 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.
