Alabama Surgical Group Granted Approval to Expand

Gardendale (Ala.) Surgical Associates has been given approval to proceed with an expansion expected to double the provider’s patient capacity by the end of 2011, according to a Birmingham Business Journal report.

In a letter to GSA COO Mike Rickman this week, the head of the State Health Planning and Development Agency wrote the surgical group’s planned expansion would not exceed the $720,000 threshold requiring state approval.

According to the report, the expansion will equip two additional operating rooms and one procedure room at the group’s surgical facility, costing an estimated $170,000.

As patient volumes continue to climb in 2012, Mr. Rickman said the group could add up to 10 additional employees.
