Here are five key points:
1. The center will focus on interventional procedures and physical therapy instead of medication management.
2. Straith Hospital's pain management center is expected to generate 1,300 procedures and $1.5 million in revenues over its first year of operation.
3. Michael Drelles, DO, an anesthesiologist, will be the medical director of the pain management center.
4. The four-room pain management center is still under construction, but Dr. Drelles has already begun seeing patients there.
5. The hospital estimates pain center costs will hit $100,000. The pain center is expected to open in early September.
