Strategic planning of the surgery center started in 2006, and the shell of the facility was completed in 2014. 

The $3.7 million project was funded by the USDA, the Delta Regional Authority, state appropriations, the South Central Ozarks Council of Governments, a community improvement district, and donations from the community.

The facility is the only surgery center of its kind within a 50 mile radius, the report said. 

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.
