Dickson Medical Associates COO Jerry Churchwell said there are no ambulatory surgery centers between Nashville and Jackson, which means patients have to travel to receive outpatient surgical procedures.

Mr. Churchwell said the facility’s surgical services will include orthopedics, general surgery, endoscopy, ear, nose, and throat procedures, urology, outpatient vascular services, podiatry and breast biopsies.

Construction for the center is scheduled to begin in May 2022 and is expected to open in summer 2023.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 18–20 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.
