Millennium Surgery Center, a joint venture between Bon Secours Mercy Health, Compass Surgical Partners (Compass) and local physicians, announced that it will launch in Greenville, South Carolina. The ambulatory surgery center (ASC) will offer same-day orthopedic surgeries, otolaryngology interventions and pain management procedures, offering the region's patients access to world-class care without the need for hospital stays. 

Bon Secours St. Francis is part of Bon Secours Mercy Health (BSMH), one of the 20 largest health systems in the United States and the fifth-largest Catholic health system in the country. 

Millennium Surgery Center expects to secure accreditation from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care and certification from Medicare by mid-May.

Millennium Surgery Center will help restore patient mobility with orthopedic procedures including total joint replacement, sports medicine, fracture treatment and interventions for the hands, elbows, feet, ankles and spine. The procedures will be performed using state-of-the-art equipment, including Stryker's Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted System, designed to boost surgical predictability during total hip and total knee replacements. The facility's services will also include a range of head, neck and otolaryngology procedures. 

The newly developed facility is the fourth opened thus far through the strategic partnership between Bon Secours Mercy Health and Compass. In January 2024, the organizations partnered with a team of physicians in Springfield, Ohio, to open Springfield Regional Outpatient Surgery Center, the first ASC in the partnership. 

Bon Secours Mercy Health and Compass anticipate opening multiple ASCs in 2024 and beyond.
