Princeton, Ind.-based Deaconess Gibson Hospital has reopened a renovated outpatient procedure center near its hospital campus, the Princeton Clarion reported March 15.
Shane Hayes, chief administrative officer at Deaconess Gibson Hospital, told the publication that the project had been three years in the making and would allow the hospital to recruit additional specialists, expand patient capacity and provide more services locally.
The center includes two operating rooms and was originally constructed as an outpatient surgery center by Princeton Surgery Center, a group of 11 physicians. Hospital leaders also said a gastrointestinal quick-care center is expected to open in the coming weeks to provide additional services for patients 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.
