The facility will offer several types of procedures, including colonoscopies, cataract removal and gallbladder removal, said Clinic Administrator and Northern Lakes Surgery Center Board Vice President Eric Nielsen, in the news release.

“Giving our patients this added convenience and helping them avoid long trips, especially in the winter, is invaluable,” Neilsen said.

The surgery center uses approximately 9,000 of the 25,000 square feet in St. Luke’s Plaza, with the additional space for future tenants.

Often, the "staff" byline is used when rewriting basic news briefs that originate from official sources, such as a city press release about a road closure, and which require little or no reporting. At times, this byline is used when a news story includes numerous authors or when the story is formed by aggregating previously reported news from various sources. If outside sources are used, it is noted within the story.
