Lynchburg, Va.-based Centra announced the $6.6 million project last year, which includes a two-operating room ASC, along with diagnostic imaging and a 24-hour emergency department, according to a report from The News & Advance on the Centra surgery center.

Despite the recommendation against the CON, Centra is soliciting support for the project from local residents in preparation for a June 8 hearing on the facility, according to the Register & Bee report.
