A partnership that developed between the Jackson Clinic and Baptist Memorial Health Care to build and operate a new outpatient center in Madison County becomes reality when the first patients are seen November 14.
Located at 145 and 155 Innovation Drive near Three Way off the U.S. Highway 45 Bypass, Baptist was selected to partner with the Jackson Clinic because they shared the same vision for developing high quality outpatient health services across West Tennessee.
Baptist was founded in 1912, and the Jackson Clinic opened its doors in 1950.
Surgeries and procedures to be performed at the center include gastrointestinal, ophthalmologic, gynecological, general, plastic, urologic, pediatric as well as ear, nose and throat.
The new outpatient center will give patients more choices, lower patient costs and shorten wait times for surgical procedures. It will provide greater access for patients in surrounding communities. It will also create new jobs and generate additional revenue for the city and county.
Outpatient surgery centers have become an increasingly popular option for surgeries that do not require an overnight hospital stay. Each year, physicians perform more than 23 million procedures in outpatient surgery centers; and, that number is growing as more patients choose the convenience, quality and lower cost of an outpatient setting. The new outpatient center will be Medicare certified and accredited.
The facility incorporates approximately 135,000 square feet.
