Millennium Surgery Center, a joint venture between Compass Surgical Partners, Bon Secours Mercy Health and local physicians, launched in Greenville, South Carolina, last month. The 20,000-square-foot facility offers same-day orthopedic surgeries, otolaryngology interventions and pain management procedures to the region’s patients, according to a release.

“We are excited to get to work in this modern, outpatient environment that will blend world-class treatment with safety, affordability and convenience,” said Jay Womack, MD, a physician partner at the center, in the release. “Our team of physicians looks forward to providing a new option for care that will meet the needs of more patients across the rapidly growing Greenville area.”

Millennium Surgery Center will help restore patient mobility with orthopedic procedures including total joint replacement, sports medicine, fracture treatment and interventions for the hands, elbows, feet, ankles and spine, according to the release. The procedures will be performed using state-of-the-art equipment designed to boost surgical predictability during total hip and total knee replacements.

“Traditionally, a majority of these surgeries have been performed in the hospital,” said Matt Caldwell, market president for Bon Secours St. Francis Health System, in the release. “Millennium Surgery Center will provide cutting-edge care at a reduced overall cost and with lower copays than hospital care. We’re proud that this partnership is facilitating the continued tradition of Bon Secours St. Francis delivering high-quality orthopedic care to our patients while also driving advances in the standards of care.”

The newly developed facility is the fourth opened thus far through the strategic partnership between Bon Secours Mercy Health and Compass. In January 2024, the organizations partnered with a team of physicians in Springfield, Ohio, to open Springfield Regional Outpatient Surgery Center, the first ASC in the partnership, according to the release.

“Compass is extremely pleased to partner with Bon Secours St. Francis to open Millennium Surgery Center, which will improve quality of life for patients and offer convenience for their physicians by facilitating top-flight tailored care in a comfortable and patient-friendly same-day setting,” said Tommy Kline, market president for Compass, in the release. “We are proud to apply our shared commitment to providing unparalleled patient care.”
