The Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board gave board approval for Urbana, Ill.-based Carle, a health system, to relocate its surgery center within Champaign, Ill., according to WAND 17.
Here are four notes:
1. Carle will move services it currently offers at the Champaign SurgiCenter to a new facility, also in Champaign.
2. The facility is equipped with more space, making way for additional operating rooms, recovery space and space designated for employees.
3. Over the past five years, Champaign SurgiCenter's surgery volume has jumped 17 percent, leading the center to file the CON for relocation late last year.
4. The existing facility in Champaign has been operating for nearly 20 years.
