Mass General Brigham is planning three ASCs — in Westborough, Westwood and Woburn — that would offer surgery, physician services and diagnostic imaging.
The Coalition to Protect Community Care currently includes healthcare providers Wellforce, Shields Health Care Group and UMass Memorial Health, as well as 12 other community and business groups.
The group plans to call for the Massachusetts Department of Public Health to “thoroughly scrutinize MGB’s proposal through the lens of health equity, community demand and cost,” a spokesperson told MetroWest Daily News.
The $400 million ASC expansion is a part of the hospital’s larger $1.9 billion expansion.
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.
