Hartford (Conn.) HealthCare and Avon, Conn.-based Constitution Surgery Alliance opened the Constitution Surgery Center East in Waterford, Conn., Nov. 16.
Here's what you should know:
1. The ASC is now open for procedures. Initially, center physicians will specialize in orthopedics, ophthalmology and urology, but the staff is open to adding other specialties at a later time.
2. The new center is 22,000 square feet.
3. The new center replaced a smaller ASC in Waterford that Constitution surgeons owned and operated.
4. Tarik Kardestuncer, MD, will serve as the facility's medical director, while Anthony Barri, MD, is the center's manager.
Hartford HealthCare President and COO Jeffrey Flakes said, "We're delighted with the success of this project. The vision at Hartford HealthCare is to provide affordable healthcare services, to provide access to healthcare services and to drive safety in healthcare. This project meets all of that."
