The Dutchess County Industrial Development Agency granted the surgery center a financial incentive to move, citing that its current space is insufficient.
“It’s going to provide some of the best customer service. It’s going to expand our ability to go to five operating rooms,” Kathy Hickman, the center’s administrator, told Mid Hudson. “We have surgeons that are waiting. Patients that can’t get in. Patients that are leaving the community. They are trying to find areas that have ambulatory surgery.”
The practice currently has 30 employees but, with the expansion, hopes to add 20 more.
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.
