Boston-based Mass General Brigham is seeking approval to build three outpatient surgery centers across Massachusetts, MSN.com reported April 22.
The surgery centers are part of a $1.9 billion expansion plan that includes building two towers at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.
Mass General Brigham's strategy is to push routine care to outpatient settings and community hospitals, so it can free up space for more complex patient care at Massachusetts General Hospital, according to the report.
Hospital leaders submitted plans to the city April 22. They hope to break ground on the hospital expansion in 2022.
