May 6-12, 2020 - With the concurrence of surgery center openings and National Nurses Week, it was the perfect timeto celebrate our deserving center staff. We admire their character, grit, and compassion.

Most staff were just getting back to work, as many surgery centers were cleared for elective surgery. They celebrated with catered breakfast and a small gift.

Founder of modern nursing Florence Nightingale once said, "I attribute my success to this; I never gave nor took any excuse." We see each staff person live out these words and couldn’t be more thankful for them.

ASCs Remain Safe for Surgery

Raleigh, N.C.–March 16, 2020 – Compass surgery center administrators balance the management of healthcare facilities amid global materials shortages and rising public health concerns, while maintaining their commitment to excellent patient care. Compass is grateful for the administrators’ courage and poise in confronting challenges, including the staffing and scheduling of their centers.

Administrators are committed to collaborating on protocols, best practices, and preparedness, as well as the current state of COVID-19 in the U.S., following guidelines from both The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO). A consolidator of expert information, The Ambulatory Surgery Center Association (ASCA) affirms ASCs have an opportunity, in this time, to provide safe surgical services to their communities, without depleting essential resources necessary to care for those who are ill and emergent, from COVID-19 or otherwise. In turn, as Compass administrators continue operating their centers, they can substantially reduce the number of patients needing inpatient care, and therefore ease the burden on hospitals.

Raleigh, N.C. and Winston-Salem, N.C. –March 6, 2020 – Compass Surgical Partners, LLC has hired Frank L. Blum Construction, based in Winston-Salem, to build Kimel Park Surgery Center (“KPSC,” formerly Triad Center for Surgery).

“Compass is thrilled to be working with such a reputable builder,” said Will Holding, Compass Director of Strategy, “The finished product will be a true asset to the Winston-Salem community.”

KPSC will be located at 180 Kimel Park Drive in Winston-Salem near I-40 and Forsyth Medical Center. It will include two operating rooms and three procedure rooms and will support a broad range of surgical procedures, including common ASC-based procedures such as sports medicine and ophthalmology as well as complex surgical cases such as total joint replacement and spine surgery.

Raleigh, N.C. and Holly Springs, N.C. – January 30, 2020 – Holly Springs Surgery Center (HSSC) in Holly Springs, N.C. has received a three-year renewal of their accreditation by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC).
