Becker’s has reported on three ASC closures announced in the last 30 days:
UCLA Health is planning to close two smaller ASCs in Santa Clarita and Thousand Oaks, Calif., Dec. 5. The health system made the decision to close the ASCs as cost-cutting measures and as a way to enhance efficiency.
California practice, ASC to close after failed physician recruitment efforts
Myrtletown, Calif.-based North Coast Ophthalmology and Humboldt Physicians Surgery and Laser Center will permanently close in February as both ophthalmologists are set to retire. The practice, which provides eye surgeries, intravitreal injections and treatment for glaucoma and cataracts, has been unable to recruit new physicians despite years of effort.
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.
