The ASC, a joint venture between DMOS Orthopaedic Centers and UnityPoint Health-Des Moines, is the first in Central Iowa and one of 17 in the state to receive the distinction, UnityPoint said in December. 

“Blue Distinction exemplifies our commitment to patients and employers in providing avenues of care by which the cost of orthopedic care is managed,” Nick Honkamp, MD, board president of DMOS, said in a Dec. 29 UnityPoint news release.

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.
