Manonmani Antony, MD, of Beebe Healthcare and TidalHealth, told the Times that the new center aims to address the lack of operating space for advanced procedures that she currently has to handle in Dover, Del., or risk sending patients to farther, sometimes out-of-state, locations.
The new facility, the Southern Delaware Medical Center, will span 5,924 square feet and will include an operating room, a procedure room, pre- and post-operative care units and a waiting room. The new center will also work to decrease opioid use throughout the state, according to Dr. Antony.
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.
