The ASC is part of an expansion to its existing clinic, the Chief Andrew Isaac Health Center. The expansion will add 108,000 square feet to the existing 95,000 square feet.

The existing clinic is a hub that serves Indian Health Service beneficiaries, Alaska Natives and American Indians, as well as many non-beneficiaries, in 42 villages.

Along with the ASC, the expansion will add an urgent care center, diagnostic imaging, ophthalmology and a larger laboratory.

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.
