The health system told Hanover County that it would no longer seek zoning approval to develop a medical campus that would include an ASC. According to the report, HCA still wants to construct a surgery center but is looking for alternative sites for the facility.
HCA did not comment on why it decided to pull the campus’s zoning application, which also included a hospital and other facilities. The system had previously won CON approval for the center after two consecutive rejections due to pushback from rival system Cincinnati-based Bon Secours.
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.
