Medical Facilities Corp. and St. Luke's Hospital have officially opened St. Luke's Surgery Center of Chesterfield in St. Louis county, Missouri. Located on the west campus of St. Luke's Hospital in Chesterfield, Missouri, the surgery center is currently offering six specialties, including orthopedics, gynecology, gastrointestinal (GI), plastic surgery, urology and general surgery. The surgery center encompasses more than 17,500 square feet of medical space with four state-of-the-art equipped operating rooms and two procedure rooms. The ambulatory surgery center ("ASC") also features five extended care rooms to accommodate outpatient surgeries such as total joint replacement of the knee and hip.
"We are excited to see this facility come to fruition," said Robert O. Horrar, President and CEO of Medical Facilities. "The first cases at St. Luke's Surgery Center of Chesterfield have been completed and physicians are welcoming new patients. This new ASC addresses the needs of a healthcare market that demands the highest quality of care, an enhanced overall experience and a lower cost. The surgery center will benefit from our established ASC platform, which we believe is well-positioned to take advantage of the substantial opportunity we continue to see in the ASC space."
