The two businesses are in a building owned by Toledo, Ohio-based Deca Health. Deca Health “blindsided” staff at both businesses March 8 with an announcement that the surgery center will close April 1, with the pain clinic to follow April 8, according to the Sentinel

“The onset of COVID created a national crisis of shortage of health care workers and consequently burgeoning costs. For more than two years, we subsidized [Colorado Injury and Pain Specialists] to maintain care for our patients,” Deca Health President William James told the Sentinel

 

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.
