"The Anderson Surgery Center will provide an array of services for both adults and children, Lisa Klaustermeier, Anderson Hospital Chief Nursing Officer, said at a groundbreaking last May. "The surgical center will include private patient pre and post-operative areas, two operating rooms and a procedure room. A lab draw station and plain film X-ray machine will be on site to complement surgical services as well as provide an additional outpatient service to local residents."

SSM Health Cardinal Glenn Children's Hospital will be a pediatric partner, in partnership with SLUCare Physican Group in the facility.

The project cost was estimated at $8.5 at time of the groundbreaking. Three additional buildings are planned for the future for the complex and could possibly include a physician office building, urgent care center and imaging center.
