Surgical Center To Open in Southwest Wisconsin

Construction is set to begin soon on an ambulatory surgical center in southwest Wisconsin that will be owned and operated by a group of Dubuque surgeons. It will be called Upper Mississippi Surgery Center, and the center will be built just past the Iowa-Wisconsin bridge in Jamestown, off Badger Road. It will focus on outpatient procedures such as hernia repairs, carpal tunnel and other same-day operations. The surgeons leading the project are all independent surgeons from the Dubuque area from four area practices — Dubuque Podiatry, Dubuque Surgery, Dubuque Orthopaedic Surgeons and Dubuque ENT Head & Neck Surgery. A report says construction is expected to begin early this month and take a little over a year to complete.
