When our editorial team researched the long list of new and recently renovated ASCs and HOPDs, we were impressed by the many examples of healthcare design at its finest. The perfect union of form and function was on full display at so many facilities throughout the country, but one center in particular really stood out. The $26.5 million Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) Orthopedic Center of Excellence is a four-floor, 55,037-square-foot facility created with a clear purpose: to provide a total patience experience under one roof. In addition to a state-of-the-art ambulatory surgery center where patients have joints replaced and undergo other elective procedures, the facility offers diagnostic testing, comprehensive rehabilitation and sports performance programs.
