Commonwealth Pain & Spine Breaks Ground for New ASC

MAY 3, 2024

Commonwealth Pain & Spine in Evansville, Indiana, announced a partnership with Woodward Development and Construction to build the first of many state-of-the-art, convenient and patient-centered ASCs. The new surgery center will be located at 6016 E Columbia Street, adjacent to the existing Commonwealth Pain & Spine Evansville East office on Kimber Lane, according to a release.

“This new ASC will help us better meet the needs of our surgical patients with a facility and environment that is designed specifically for outpatient procedures,” said Nicolaus Winters, MD, who has practiced with Commonwealth Pain & Spine for 10 years, in the release. “We are excited to begin this project and have a surgery center that improves access to safe, quality care.”

With sitework underway, the construction of the ASC will begin this spring. The nearly 10,000-square-foot building will contain two surgical suites, and the project is expected to open in early 2025 for surgical services and procedures, according to the release.

“Surgery centers offer a seamless journey for patients, characterized by their smaller scale, ease of access and exclusive focus on outpatient procedures,” said Janet Carlson, executive director of ASCs for Commonwealth Pain & Spine, in the release. “This will be a one-stop shop with many patient-focused enhancements and the latest surgical technology.”

When completed, the facility will enable patients and practitioners to access local, comprehensive, and centralized care.

“As developers deeply invested in Evansville’s future, we are thrilled to partner with this team,” said Woodward Chief Executive Officer and Managing Broker Evan Beck, in the release. “This investment underscores our commitment to the region's growth and development, offering not just advanced healthcare options but also signaling a promising future for the community.”
