The ASC opened on Tennova’s North Knoxville Medical Center campus in Powell, Tenn. It was built with six operating suites, as Becker’s ASC Review previously reported.

In June 2018, Tennova Healthcare discontinued intensive care and some inpatient services at Morristown, Tenn.-based Lakeway Regional Hospital. At the same time, the organization revealed plans to develop outpatient centers in the Knoxville area.
