Ascension also will be opening a $16 million ambulatory surgery center in August on 3 acres near an existing Saint Thomas Medical Partners building offering health care services on New Salem Highway near St. Andrews Drive.
Saint Thomas purchased the 3 acres in 2018 for $1.5 million. The development will include two operating rooms and one procedure room that provides services closer to where many patients live.
The 13,000-square-foot ambulatory surgery center will include gastrointestinal, urology and general surgery services. The second floor of the building will house offices for Ascension Medical Group, as well as shell space to help accommodate growth.
Hospital Board Chairman Bill Jones is pleased with the healthcare growth and said it helps make Rutherford a more desirable community for people to live in and for companies to relocate to.
