More than $200 million of the funding will be allocated to Augusta University Medical Center, a more than 600-bed safety net and teaching hospital, with the remainder going toward the ASC, a new hospital and a medical office building.
The partnership will also expand medical training, research and clinical care in the state. The two systems signed a letter of intent for the partnership in December, which was officially approved by the University System of Georgia Board of Regents on March 31.
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.
