The four-story Ernest E. Tschannen Eye Institute Building has 64 exam rooms and 24 imaging rooms. The second floor is dedicated for refractive and oculoplastic surgeries. 

The new facility will also increase UC Davis’ clinical trial capacity by 50 percent, according to a Dec. 5 press release. The project was made possible by an $18.5 million donation from Mr. Tschannen, a patient whose sight was restored after glaucoma surgery by a UC Davis ophthalmologist. 

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.
