Atlanta-based Northside Hospital is requesting a certificate of need permit to open an ASC in Braselton, Ga., reports the Gwinnett Daily Post.
The Department of Community Health denied the hospital's initial proposal for the outpatient surgery center last year.
The planned Braselton Surgical Specialist Center will feature three ORs, one endoscopy room and provide orthopedic and neurosurgery procedures.
It will span 22,500 square feet and cater to 13 northeast Georgia counties.
Hearings for the request will begin Dec. 21.
