The Doylestown (Penn.) Surgery Center has closed, leaders confirmed to Becker’s Oct. 30.
The ASC was jointly owned by Doylestown Hospital, Philadelphia-based Jefferson Health, Rothman Orthopaedics, Leawood, Kan.-based NueHealth and 10 surgeons.
“Rothman remains deeply committed to providing world-class access and surgical services to the Doylestown community, particularly given the recent wave of hospital and facility closures across Pennsylvania,” Rothman CEO Christian Ellison told Becker’s in a statement.
More hospitals have closed in Pennsylvania than in any other state this year, reflecting a growing crisis in the state’s healthcare infrastructure. Pennsylvania’s hospital challenges are multifaceted, leaders told Becker’s, involving a combination of overextended M&A strategies, reimbursement declines, workforce shortages and a rising tide of severe malpractice settlements.
Becker’s has reached out to Doylestown Hospital and Jefferson Health and will update this story if more information becomes available.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
