Regional Medical Center is challenging the state’s approval of a $12.5 million physician-owned ASC, according to the Oct. 31 report.

The hospital wants to build its own $2. 4 million ASC, and has received a certificate of need from the state to build it.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 18–20 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
