The Upper Mississippi Surgery Center began construction last year and is expected to be complete in October 2024. The project is just one month behind its original schedule, despite construction setbacks, according to the report.
The center’s first surgeries will be conducted in mid- to late-October, with the facility expected to be fully operational about six months after that.
The center will primarily focus on hernia repairs, carpal tunnel releases and other same-day operations.
The project is led by 10 area surgeons from Dubuque (Iowa) Podiatry, Dubuque Surgery, Dubuque Orthopaedic Surgeons and Dubuque ENT Head & Neck Surgery.
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.
