The 9,000-square-foot surgery center was created in 1984 and utilized by a group of physicians whose practices were affected by “overwhelmed” hospital operating room schedules. The hospital was able to lease the facility as physicians at the original practice began to retire.
The addition of the ASC will increase the number of procedures the hospital is able to perform and expand its service offerings, starting with a gastrointestinal service line.
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.
