Portland-based MaineHealth plans to invest $70 million to develop an orthopedic care hub that includes a surgery center, MaineBiz reported Sept. 11.
About $20 million will go towards a freestanding ASC, the report said. It will be 14,000 square feet and include four operating rooms, the report said. It will also have two procedure rooms and 16 pre- and post- op bays. Kelly Elkins, MaineHealth’s COO, said in the report that the surgery center is slated to be up and running in 2027.
MaineHealth has invested $20 million for a three-story office building, and another $30 million will support renovations at an existing building that will bring together MaineHealth’s orthopedic specialty practices.
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.
