According to an email shared with Becker’s by Danielle Martin, an administrator and director of physician services at VCS, the ASC has been in operation since April 2023. VCS received certificate-of-need approval for the catheterization lab in January and opened its doors Dec. 17. 

The catheterization lab now performs heart catheterizations and low-risk coronary interventions, along with electrophysiology and peripheral vascular procedures.

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.
