The facility originally opened in 2010, but received extensive renovation in 2020. The ASC now features four operating rooms, one procedure room, two recovery areas, a central sterile department, a C-arm radiographic machine with a vascular package and a new ultrasound machine. 

To start, surgeons will focus on orthopedic, gastroenterology, and general and vascular surgery procedures. There are eight surgeons currently practicing at the ASC, and others are being actively recruited, according to wrbl.com. 

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.
