The Southtowns Ambulatory Surgery Center would be a joint venture between Kaleida Health, 22 physician partners and the University of Buffalo School of Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.
The project faced strong opposition from neighboring hospitals and health systems, including Buffalo-based Catholic Health. The state council voted against the project in April, effectively denying a CON.
Through the appeals process, the project will now be assigned to a state Department of Health attorney for review and eventually come before the Public Health and Health Planning Council for a final decision.
