Compass Surgical, Bon Secours Mercy Open New ASC

OCTOBER 1, 2025

Compass Surgical Partners and Bon Secours Mercy Health have partnered with area physicians to open Coastal Virginia Surgery Center in Newport News, Virginia, according to a release.

Partners in the center have secured Virginia’s Certificate of Public Need (COPN), a regulatory approval that enables the ASC to serve Medicare beneficiaries. The center is actively pursuing accreditation from the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care, according to the release. First cases began last month. The new ASC will expand access to high-quality, lower-cost surgical care for residents across the Coastal Virginia region.

“Coastal Virginia Surgery Center is led by surgeons who live and practice in this community,” said Boyd W. Haynes, III, MD, physician partner and a fellowship-trained sports medicine specialist at Orthopaedic & Spine Center of Newport News, in the release. “We have a direct hand in how it is designed, staffed, and equipped, which means it reflects what we believe patients deserve: a safe, efficient, and highly personalized surgical experience.”

The new ASC will offer orthopedic surgical care in a modern, 20,000-square-foot facility with four operating rooms. The facility will support procedures across a range of orthopedic subspecialties, including total joint replacement and specialty orthopedics, including upper and lower extremities, as well as spine and pain management, according to the release.

“I’ve dedicated my career to advancing minimally invasive techniques that allow patients to recover faster and stay in the comfort of their own homes,” said Jeffrey R. Carlson, MD, physician partner and a spine surgery specialist at Orthopaedic & Spine Center of Newport News, in the release. “With the new Coastal Virginia Surgery Center, we’ll be able to safely expand same-day spine procedures, reducing both hospital stays and recovery times while delivering exceptional outcomes.”

Said Sean Rambo, president and cofounder of Compass Surgical Partners, in the release: “Opening this orthopedic ASC advances our shared goal with Bon Secours Mercy Health: to build a network of high-quality ambulatory surgery centers across a range of specialties. With facilities already operating or in development across Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, and South Carolina, we’re making meaningful progress. Coastal Virginia Surgery Center exemplifies the high-performance model that’s possible only through strong, intentional alignment with physicians.”

Said Pat Davis-Hagens, market president for Bon Secours Hampton Roads, in the release: “This project is a reflection of our continued commitment to meet the needs of the Hampton Roads community. By investing in outpatient care that’s both cost-effective and high-quality, we’re making it easier for patients to get the care they need close to home.”
