The center is the result of a partnership between Mary Greeley Medical Center and McFarland Clinic, both based in Armes, Iowa.
The ASC is expected to reduce the need for rescheduling, increase affordability and help surgeon retention and recruitment, the report said. Services at the center will include gastroenterology, general surgery, gynecology, ophthalmology, orthopedics, plastic surgery, podiatry, urology and ENT.
Construction is expected to begin in April 2023; opening is expected toward the end of 2024, McFarland Clinic CEO Andrew Perry told the Ames Tribune.
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.
