August 31, 2020 - ASCs fulfill growing patient desire for safe, convenient surgical options outside the hospital. Happy National ASC Month!

Patients deserve the highest-quality care throughout their surgical experience. Each of our ASC partnerships provides that exceptional care. 

A little history from the Ambulatory Surgery Center Association (ASCA): "For more than forty years, ASCs have provided high-quality, cost-efficient surgical care for millions of Americans. In that time, ASCs have transformed the outpatient experience by offering a convenient and personalized alternative to the hospital outpatient surgical setting."

August 5, 2020 - Smooth, spa vibes radiating from the interior of Florida Springs Surgery Center. Just a few more steps before they open! We're grateful to partner with The Center for Bone & Joint Disease. 

As healthcare providers strive to meet patient expectations, facility design—colors, textures, architecture, atmosphere—is increasingly important. 

 Precise Construction and Hardaway|Sziabowski Architects are working together on the Spring Hill-based facility. Progress on the development has been monitored through virtual site visits.

The Center for Bone & Joint Disease has been serving the Tampa Bay community for more than 47 years. There are currently nine orthopedic surgeons, a physiatrist, a podiatrist, and thirteen physician assistants/nurse practitioners. The Center for Bone and Joint Disease’s physicians are all Board-Certified in Orthopaedics or Podiatry and have received specialized fellowship training in areas such as hands, sports medicine, foot and ankle, and spinal injuries.

Compass is the right place at the right time for all of the patients we serve and for those of us behind the scenes." -Sandy

July 8, 2020 -- The key was strong partnerships with physicians, staff, patients, community members and vendors.
