New York City-based Memorial Sloan Ketter Cancer Center held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its first ASC in Monmouth County (N.J.), according to NJ Biz.
Here are four takeaways:
1. MSK is waiting on Department of Health approval for its ASC before it can begin operating.
2. MSK expects to receive approval by Dec. 12, 2016.
3. The survey center is 120,000 square feet and features an adjacent 50,000-square-foot facility that includes a data center.
4. For patients requiring stays extending multiple nights, they will undergo the operation at MSK in New York City, as opposed to the ASC.
