The newly-managed ASC will provide general services, urgent care, imaging and occupational medicine in addition to ambulatory surgery services. Buffalo, N.Y.-based Catholic Health is also building a new hospital in Lockport, which is expected to open in late summer. 

Eastern Niagara has been under financial strain since 2019, according to the report. 

In November of 2019, the system filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Eastern Niagara Hospital will close for good June 17.   

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.
