Eugene, Ore.-based Slocum Orthopedics will break ground in September on a 34,000-square-foot ASC, according to an Aug. 14 report from KEZI 9 News.
The facility, which is expected to open in spring 2027, will have eight operating rooms, allow 23-hour overnight stays and handle between 8,000 and 9,000 outpatient surgeries annually.
The project is designed to expand access to orthopedic procedures in Lane County, Ore., where Slocum surgeons currently perform about 12,000 surgeries each year across its existing surgery center and local hospitals. The additional capacity will help reduce wait times and address rising demand for surgical services in the region, according to the report.
Owned and managed by local physicians, the new center will also support a range of orthopedic surgeries.
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.
