Astria Health launched its cardiology line in 2014, and has served hundreds of patients in the region. It is Eastern Washington’s largest nonprofit health system, according to the report.
Astria was also named one of the best hospitals for heart care in 2022 and 2023 by the American College of Cardiologists.
“Closing a service line is always a last resort, but part of being a good financial steward of our organization is to be responsible to our staff and the communities that depend on us,” Brian Gibbons, Astria Health CEO, told NBC.
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.
