Officials from Carroll Hospital Center in Westminster, Md., have announced they will be moving all outpatient surgeries performed at the Dixon Ambulatory Care Center to the main hospital on July 1.
According to the Carroll County (Md.) Times, the decision to consolidate was made based on controlling costs and freeing up more space in the Dixon building.
It is unclear, however, what will be done with the space because there are so many options available. New outpatient services could be added, or the hospital could expand current services. Cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation, the wound care center and diabetes management services could be put in the space.
