The ASC, which opened two weeks ago, offers cataract surgery, gastroenterology and podiatry, among other services. 

Mr. Johnson said that in order to properly represent his district, he wanted to meet the innovators of the area. 

“We’ve got a tremendous problem right now with workforce. You’ve got a lot of people that are no longer looking for a job. They’ve kind of given up on the job market,” Mr. Johnson said, according to WTRF. “To have a state-of-the-art facility like this right here in our region, in central Appalachia, so that people can have that taken care of, I think is great.”

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
