Wilmington Eye in North Carolina plans this year to open an outpatient surgery center, Wilmington Health has one under construction and SurgCare is renovating and expanding its ambulatory surgery center, WilmingtonBiz reports.
Meanwhile, the N.C. General Assembly recently passed a law that makes it somewhat easier for health care providers to add certain procedures, such as outpatient surgery.
When Wilmington Eye opens its new facility in November, it will be the area’s first freestanding ambulatory surgery center dedicated to vision procedures. The surgery center will add 26 new positions.
Not far from the Wilmington Eye facility, Wilmington Health is building an ambulatory surgery center that it hopes will give the community a simpler and less costly alternative for some surgical procedures. The surgery center will offer procedures in several areas, including orthopedics, OB/ GYN, urology, cardiology, foot and ankle surgery, general surgery, pain management and plastic surgery.
