11 biggest surgery center projects in 2020 by cost

This year, at least 11 developments involving an ASC or outpatient surgery center represented an investment of $50 million or more.

The biggest surgery center projects Becker's ASC Review covered this year, ranked by dollar amount:

1. A $1 billion construction project at Willowbrook, Calif.-based Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital includes plans for a medical office building with an ASC.

2. Baptist Health Lexington (Ky.) plans to build a $1 billion outpatient surgery and medical campus in Hamburg, Ky., for which it will receive up to $12.7 million in tax breaks over 20 years. The campus will have a multistory hospital, a surgery center and 12 buildings with retail and medical office space.

3. Duluth, Minn.-based Essentia Health is developing a new hospital, clinical building and outpatient surgery center, but the project timeline was pushed back to accommodate an expansion. With the expansion, the project will cost $900 million.
