Lestonnac Free Clinic offers free primary healthcare services as well as dental and vision care. It provided free surgeries for more than five years at a hospital in Los Angeles County.

The 4,000-square-foot surgery center, which will be located in Orange, will be staffed by volunteer surgeons. 

The center is expected to open in Spring 2024.

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.
