Ascension St. Vincent’s and Southeast Orthopedic Specialists (SOS) have opened a new orthopedic and spine ASC in St. Augustine, Fla.
The 18,500-square-foot ASC puts the finishing touch on a 37,000-square-foot orthopedic and spine campus built to provide more convenient access to comprehensive musculoskeletal care for patients in the Jacksonville, Fla.-area counties of St. Johns, Putnam and Flagler counties.
Ascension St. Vincent’s said the opening is part of its broader commitment to investment in ASCs and physician partnerships, driven by advances in technology and minimally invasive techniques that are enabling these procedures to be performed in outpatient settings.
The ASC, which features four ORs and 17 pre-op and post-anesthesia care beds, joins an expanded SOS clinic and digital imaging center already operating on the campus. The partners say this arrangement creates “a single destination where patients can see a physician, get imaging, have a procedure and recover without traveling to multiple locations.”
The partners say the ASC is staffed by “board-certified, fellowship-trained surgeons and supported by advanced practice providers who manage the full continuum of care, from initial evaluation and non-surgical treatment through surgery and recovery.”
