New Surgical Construction Bulletin Reports Construction and Renovation Activities

Outpatient Surgery Magazine’s New Surgical Construction Bulletin (NSCB) reports daily on the construction and renovation activities in the outpatient market across the country. This report reflects what is happening in the ambulatory and hospital environments and the project announcements demonstrate strong activity continuing in the last months of 2024.

The announcements include details about the cost and actual type of construction or renovation as well as location, revealing the pace of activity. All of this data will help forecast the volume and future landscape of outpatient surgery facilities.

While some of these projects reflect multimillion-dollar investments, others are smaller in scope, but they are just as important for the evolving growth of ASCs and hospitals. Each announcement provides important details for NSCB subscribers to give them the opportunity to make educated decisions about their interest in these new builds and renovations.

Produced by Outpatient Surgery Magazine, this database keeps users informed about all 50 states in real time. In the 12 months of 2024, NSCB reported a total of 383 newly planned constructions, capital equipment investments and renovation projects with a monthly average of more than 30 projects recorded.
