Green Bay, Wis. – Prevea Health is pleased to announce the Prevea Surgery Center, opening at 1860 Shawano Ave. in Green Bay in May 2022.

An ambulatory surgery center, commonly referred to as an ASC, the Prevea Surgery Center will provide same-day, outpatient surgical care by Prevea providers in a variety of medical specialties: ear, nose and throat; gastroenterology; ophthalmology; orthopedics; plastic surgery; podiatry and urology. Common outpatient procedures that will be performed at the Prevea Surgery Center include (but are not limited to) colonoscopy, tonsillectomy, kidney stone removal, breast reduction, hip and knee procedures, and cataract surgery.  
“The Prevea Surgery Center comes at a time as demand for our surgical services and our presence in the community continues to grow,” said Dr. Ashok Rai, President and CEO at Prevea Health.  “Our patients will continue to receive the high-quality surgical care they have come to know and trust at Prevea Health, but with the added benefits of increased access to surgical services, less waiting for appointments and lower costs. There is a 20 to 40 percent reduction in cost for patients receiving care at a freestanding ASC versus a hospital-based ASC.”

The Prevea Surgery Center is currently under construction at 1860 Shawano Ave. next to the Prevea St. Mary’s Health Center and just one block west of HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital Medical Center. At approximately 35,000 square feet, the facility will feature 4 operating rooms, 10 procedure rooms, 8 post anesthesia care unit (PACU) rooms, and nearly 30 surgical prep and recovery rooms.
