Cincinnati Eye Institute opened a new ASC and performed the first surgery there earlier this week, according to the Journal News.
Here are five things to know:
1. Cincinnati Eye Institute opened the CEI Middletown (Ohio) Surgery Center to offer a full range of ophthalmology services.
2. CEI already has an ASC on its Blue Ash campus; the new surgery center is located near Middletown, Ohio-based Atrium Medical Center. The new location will be more convenient for a portion of CEI's patient population.
3. The new facility also includes clinical offices and doubles the space for the institution. As a result, CEI can recruit additional ophthalmologists and subspecialists.
4. The added three surgical operating rooms at CEI will alleviate wait time for patients to undergo surgery in addition to convenient access across the community.
5. CEI currently includes 41 ophthalmologists and 17 optometrists.
