Cost of the new facility was not disclosed by the company, but Weight Loss Surgical Center expected to open the hospital in summer 2010, according to the report.
The decision to build the hospital was due to some insurance companies not approving weight loss surgery an ASC setting. Weight Loss Surgical Center operates eight centers in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska.
