Blue River Surgery Center in Kansas City | Photo provided by HammesHammes Partners – a national real estate consulting, development, investment and management firm – has completed its latest ambulatory surgery center (ASC) project.
The Blue River Surgery Center in Kansas City is a 22,500-square-foot ASC that houses five operating rooms and two specialty procedure rooms for orthopedic, gastroenterology and other multi-specialty cases.
Now open, the ASC was developed for Surgery Ventures, the ASC arm of HCA Healthcare (NYSE: HCA). The center – located in a fast-growing market in south Kansas City – is built around a collaboration with Surgery Ventures and more than 20 physician partners.
Strategically, the location also complements HCA’s existing care delivery network in the region, according to a news release on the new ASC.
“It has been rewarding to support Surgery Ventures with the rollout of multiple ambulatory surgery centers throughout the country,” Justin Shea, principal of Hammes Partners, said in the release.
Additionally, Hammes is developing a second surgery center in the Kansas City area in partnership with Surgery Ventures and physician partners. It is located in the suburb of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, with an expected opening date of early 2025.
“We are excited to see the impact these new surgery centers have in terms of greater access to quality outpatient care in the communities they serve,” Shea continued.
Hammes partnered with ACI Boland Architects and JE Dunn Construction on both the Blue River Surgery Center and the future Lee’s Summit Surgery Center.
Surgery Ventures has more than 3,400 physician partners in its network. In total, the organization jointly owns over 150 surgery centers in 16 states across the U.S., handling over 800,000 patient cases annually.
Surgery Ventures has a long list of specialities, from bariatric surgery and gastroenterology, to pediatrics, podiatry and spine.
