Procedures will be performed by orthopedic surgeon Albert Folgueras, MD, according to a Dec. 4 email sent to Becker’s. 

The 80,000-square-foot WellSpan ASC provides more than a dozen primary care, specialty care, surgical and ambulatory services. 

In the last year, 21% of total joint replacements performed at WellSpan were on a same-day discharge basis. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
