Construction crews have begun site work for a new ophthalmology surgery center in Wilton, N.Y., according to a Glens Falls Post-Star report.
Local ophthalmologists and Glens Falls (N.Y.) Hospital are collaborating on the eye surgery center. The physicians formed North Country Eye Surgery Center, a company that will own 70 percent of the facility. The hospital will own the remaining 30 percent.
North Country Eye Surgery is spending around $1.2 million for equipment. It will provide the staff and handle billing, while the hospital is spending $1.2 million, and will own the building and land.
A soft opening is targeted for early summer 2013.
