What Cool Springs Surgery Center does

Cool Springs Surgery Center, operating as Vanderbilt Surgery Center Cool Springs, is a single-location ambulatory surgery center (ASC) located at 2009 Mallory Lane, Suite 100, Franklin, Tennessee. The facility provides outpatient surgical procedures that do not require overnight hospital stays, serving patients across multiple specialties in a comfortable, non-hospital setting. The center employs 101-250 staff and is equipped with advanced surgical equipment designed for same-day procedures. The center holds Joint Commission accreditation and Medicare certification, meeting recognized healthcare quality and safety standards.

The business operates under a partnership model: it is managed by Surgery Partners, a national operator of ambulatory surgery centers, and is affiliated with Vanderbilt University Medical Center, providing access to the Vanderbilt physician network and brand. Revenue is generated through transaction-based fees for surgical procedures performed at the facility, with billing handled through insurance and a secure online patient payment portal. The center does not publicly disclose pricing, relying instead on payer contracts and patient billing workflows.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led through physician referrals and direct patient outreach. Patients are scheduled via their referring surgeons or by contacting the center directly. The value proposition centers on lower facility fees compared to hospital outpatient departments, a more relaxed care environment, and association with the Vanderbilt brand. The center markets itself primarily through its website, which provides information on procedures, physicians, billing, and patient resources.
