Minnesota ASC eyes expansion amid proposed zoning change

A proposed zoning change is laying the groundwork for the expansion of Duluth, Minn.-based Lakewalk Surgery Center, Duluth News Tribune reported Sept. 12.

The ASC purchased a nearby building in 2020 to make room for additional parking and landscaping, and the center also is prepared to close a sale on another nearby building. 

The expansion comes after Lakewalk’s Andrew Baertsch, MD, petitioned the city to rezone the property to a mixed-use institutional designation. 

The Duluth Planning Commission unanimously approved the redesignation in June, and the Duluth City Council is slated to vote on the redesignation Sept. 27. 

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.
