But on July 5 the community broke ground on a new medical office building, the Pahrump Community Health Center, which will include an ASC and plans to open its doors early in 2023.
The ASC will have four operating rooms, two procedure rooms and a catherization lab and offer general surgery, cardiology, orthopedics, otolaryngology, pain management, podiatry and ophthalmology, according to a statement from the developer. The ASC is expected to accommodate up to 2,000 surgeries per year.
While construction on the center won’t be completed until early next year, the health center is actively seeking staff to fill its 37 healthcare job openings.
