According to an article in the Suffolk News-Herald, officials from a Virginia hospital, Sentara Obici Hospital, hope for broad public support Friday during a public hearing on a request to develop an ambulatory surgery center near Carrollton, Virginia.
As stated in the article, "The proposed ambulatory surgery center would comprise an operating room and a procedure room within the new facility, according to a hospital spokesperson and an emailed public hearing announcement."
The center would “complement the advanced imaging, physical therapy, urgent care and physician offices planned for the Sentara St. Luke’s campus,” the announcement stated. “In addition, the operating room would better serve patients who would find the location of an ASC in Isle of Wight County more accessible.”
