September 1, 2021 - Compass is 10 YEARS OLD today! 

As we look back over the 10 years, we're filled with gratitude for all of the amazing people that have been a part of that journey. Thanks to each and every person who's worked with us and partnered with us along the way, in every capacity. Thanks especially to our physician partners and our Compass team members. Here's to the next 10 and on after.

Check out the second story OR with windows at Raleigh Neurosurgical and Spine Surgery Center, in Raleigh, NC. Construction isn't quite finished, but it will be soon.

It's a true pleasure to help create better spaces to work for our partners and their ASC staff. And of course patients get to experience the brightness too. Big shoutout to Hardaway|Sziabowski Architects and Danis.

Don't worry, the windows will have privacy covers.
