Ozarks Area Orthopaedics Associates’ CoxHealth contract expired Jan. 1. That group of physicians has joined with a few former Ferrell-Duncan orthopedic doctors to operate the new clinic, according to Dr. Paul Olive, managing member. The facility features a 17,000-square-foot ambulatory surgery center with five surgical bays and an MRI suite.
