Owensboro Health announced today that has acquired Ohio Valley Surgical Specialists, a long-standing provider of high quality surgical services. The physician practice will adopt the Owensboro Health name and be known as Owensboro Health Surgical Specialists, becoming part of the Owensboro Health Medical Group.  

“Having this group of established and respected surgeons join Owensboro Health is a natural next step toward improving the health of the communities we serve,” said Ed Heath, vice president of business development and community health. “Our desire is to work more closely with these physicians to expand our surgical service line and recruit additional surgeons to the practice.” 

The Owensboro Mayor’s Committee on Business Development is soliciting public input regarding the planning, zoning or other business regulatory processes in Owensboro / Daviess County. 

The Committee has developed an online survey that can be accessed directly at www.surveymonkey.com/s/MCBD or by clicking the button labeled ‘Mayor’s Committee on Business Development Survey’ on the City’s website at www.owensboro.org. 

Construction is still on schedule at the site of one of Owensboro's newest hotels.

Crews say the Hampton Inn that will be next to the Convention Center is expected to officially open around the same time as its neighbor in early January.
