Colorado Springs-based Vanguard Skin Specialists has begun construction on a 9,000-square-foot expansion of its Pueblo, Colorado location that will include a new ambulatory surgery center (ASC) and specialty suites. The project will add to the practice's existing facility that opened in 2017, with the expanded site expected to open in 2027.

Why it matters

The new ASC will provide more specialized procedures and treatment options for skin cancer and other dermatological conditions, reducing the need for patients in southern Colorado to travel to the main Colorado Springs location. This expansion aims to improve access to care for rural and underserved areas in the region.

The details

The 9,000-square-foot expansion will add the new ASC and specialty suites to Vanguard Skin Specialists' existing Pueblo facility. The expanded site is expected to open in 2027, two years after construction began. The new surgery center will offer more specialized procedures and treatments, particularly for skin cancer, that were previously only available at the Colorado Springs location.

  • Construction on the 9,000-square-foot expansion began in March 2026.
  • The expanded Pueblo facility with the new ASC is expected to open in 2027.
