The expansion, part of a larger $4.8 million renovation project at the facility, provided the diagnostics center with additional equipment for echocardiograms, stress echocardiograms and vascular ultrasounds. 

As a result, patients will get faster diagnoses and wait less time for treatment, an Ochsner spokesperson told the news outlet. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
