BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Guthrie Lourdes Hospital in Binghamton says construction of a new ambulatory surgery center (ASC) is nearing completion in Johnson City.
Located in the former Oakdale Mall, Guthrie Broome Orthopedic and Spine Surgery Center will feature four spacious operating rooms, 17 private recovery bays, and cutting-edge surgical technology, including a robotic system.
Slated to open in February 2026, the new facility will offer outpatient orthopedic surgery, including total joint replacements, spine surgery, sports medicine, and procedures for the hand, wrist, elbow, foot, and ankle, as well as outpatient pain procedures.

The project is part of Guthrie’s broader investment in Oakdale Commons and supports the organization’s goal of “providing the right care, at the right time, in the right place,” per the announcement.
“Building a new surgical facility off the main hospital campus is part of our larger vision to offer high-quality, low-cost surgical care, in a convenient location with ample parking and modern facilities,” Dr. Edmund Sabanegh, president and CEO of the Guthrie Clinic, said in the announcement. “The surgery center complements our existing services at Oakdale Commons, including primary care, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and the fitness center. As healthcare continues to shift toward outpatient settings, we’re committed to meeting the community’s needs with high-quality, specialized care.”
Upon opening, the center will employ up to 30 nurses, orthopedic technicians, and support staff. It will undergo a licensure survey by the New York State Department of Health and pursue certification from both the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC), Guthrie said.
