The new $233.5 million location for the eye institute will also allow for the construction of the new WVU Cancer Institute near the system’s main hospital campus. 

The facility is part of a $400 million, four-project investment by WVU Medicine and is partly funded by a $50 million gift by the Hazel Ruby McQuain Charitable Trust.

All of the projects are subject to regulatory approvals, the report said.

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.
