The 5,000-square-foot Animas Surgery Center at Escalante opened in June. The center plans to accommodate six to 10 outpatient surgeries per day in its two operating rooms.

The first procedure was performed by otolaryngologist Phil Wiley, MD. The ASC will focus on ENT and hand surgeries to start and later expand to additional procedures. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 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.
