Outpatient Surgery Centers Expected To Have A ‘Strong Decade’

Surgery centers are going to be in demand through 2030, according to an Albany Business Journal report that examined the Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASC) market.

Here are three insights from the report:

— The worldwide outpatient surgery market is expected to hit $93 billion by 2025, a drastic increase from 2017’s $61 billion.

— The growing migration of procedures from the inpatient to the outpatient space, too, is evidence of the effect surgery centers can have on healthcare.

— In Albany, N.Y., for example, at least six surgery centers have been proposed, approved or completed over the last two years, and several area hospitals began building or partnering for their own surgery centers.

More than 200 ASCs have been opened or announced since January 2019. Click here for a breakdown by month and state.

Mayo Clinic, Ascension Among Healthcare Giants Investing In Northeast Florida

In 2019, Jacksonville-based Mayo Clinic Florida said it would build a $233 million, 190,000-square-foot oncology facility that will bring proton beam therapy and carbon ion therapy to Jacksonville.

Jacksonville-based Baptist Health also began several large projects this year, including building Florida‘s second largest children’s hospital and a seven-story facility that will “reorient” its downtown Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville Hospital.

Ascension St. Vincent in Jacksonville this year filed plans with city officials to build two emergency departments that are expected to open in 2020.

In addition, Baptist Health, Gainesville, Fla.-based UF Health and Nashville, Tenn.-based HCA Healthcare all filed plans to build facilities in Nassau County.

“If you’re going to have UF Health, Baptist and HCA, three mega-competitors that can literally stare into each other’s windows along the I-95 and A1A corridor, something really good is happening, because that is a lot of capital investment, a lot of healthcare,” former economic development board executive director Laura DiBella told the Business Journal. “And healthcare, in my experience, plants their money for decades.”
