The 158,000-square-foot musculoskeletal hospital, which will cost $68.5 million to build, is set to open in March 2023. It will comprise operating rooms, patient rooms and offices as well as space for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences’ orthopedic trauma, orthopedic oncology, and physical medicine and rehabilitation programs.
The expansion reflects the growth of the UAMS orthopedic program as well as the research and education provided by the UAMS Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute, according to the health system.
UAMS also plans to open a $56 million radiation oncology center in June 2023.
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.
