Michael Bundy, Prisma Health Midlands Market CEO, added, “Moving appropriate outpatient surgical cases from inside a large hospital campus to a more convenient and easy-to-access outpatient site provides many benefits to patients and their loved ones and helps add much-needed capacity for increased inpatient needs, so we can continue to provide the best care possible to all of our patients who count on us.”
The Medical Park acts as a central location for top primary and specialized healthcare services, including cardiology, orthopedics, physiatry, gastroenterology, vascular treatments, neurology, endocrinology, pain management, and behavioral health. It also provides essential primary care services like internal medicine, family medicine, and OB/GYN practices to the community.
