The $46 million ASC will be combined with a Medicare-certified, independent diagnostic testing facility and will house six operating rooms and two procedure rooms. There will be outpatient surgeries for a number of specialties, including urology, pediatrics, podiatry, ENT, dermatology,OB-GYN, ophthalmology and general surgery. 

The ASC’s approval came after months of legal battles and pushback from Forest Park Group, which planned to build a similar ASC in the area.

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.
