The facility will be open in December of 2023. Jackson Eye Associates, the largest ophthalmology practice in Mississippi, also plans to open an ASC in January 2024.
Mississippi Retina plans to open its own ASC the same month.
“This represents a real step forward for Mississippi Retina, and we’re going to have an innovative state-of-the-art office here and offer some things here that we didn’t offer before,” Michael Borne, MD, a physician at Mississippi Retina Associates, told the Journal. “We’ll have a retina only ambulatory surgery center, which will be only one of three in the country, and we’ll move our newly formed retina research institute of Mississippi here.”
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.
