Of the donation, $40 million will go towards ASC construction, while the remaining $30 million will be used for the pathology lab. The ASC, which is currently in the design phase, will be constructed at UNLV School of Medicine in the Las Vegas Medical District.
“An ambulatory care clinic will help change the paradigm of care in southern Nevada. It will provide coordinated care to patients, including mental and behavioral health, all in one place,” Marc J. Kahn, MD, dean of the medical school and VP for health affairs at UNLV, told the Sun. “The lab will allow us to turn around test results faster, as well as provide valuable training opportunities for young doctors performing original research.”
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.
