The consideration of a final plat for Baptist Memorial Health Care and the Jackson Clinic comprising of three lots and one common open space on approximately 56.288 acres has been approved by the Jackson Planning Municipal Commission.
Submitted by Health Tech Affiliates, Inc., the property is for a medical office facility that will be constructed next to the existing surgical center.
A partnership that developed between the Jackson Clinic and Baptist Memorial Health Care to build and operate a new outpatient center in Madison County continues at 145 & 155 Innovation Drive.
The facility, which incorporates approximately 135,000 square feet is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2023.
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.
Surgeries and procedures to be performed at the center include gastrointestinal, ophthalmologic, gynecological, general, plastic, urologic, pediatric as well as ear, nose and throat.
Diagnostic heart catheterizations will also be performed at the center.
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.
