The $3 million ASC, with $2 million for building costs and $1 million in equipment costs, is attached to the back of Prairie Eye & Lasik Center.
While the ASC will initially just perform procedures in ophthalmology, primarily cataract surgery for Medicare patients, owner Dr. Sandra Yeh intends to seek approval to offer orthopedics as well, according to the report.
Dr. Yeh estimated the ASC will perform 2,500 procedures annually.
Plans for Prairie Surgery Center were approved by the Illinois health planning board in Jan. 2009.
