Some of the construction plans include, front desk and lobby enhancements, additional exam rooms, a dedicated area for MRI imaging and a patient education classroom. LOC’s ambulatory surgery center will gain a third operating room, a procedure room and more space in the pre-operative and recovery areas. In addition, the surgery center will have a covered patient pick up area outside their dedicated entrance. The clinic and surgery center waiting areas will be updated as well.
