Adena will continue to work with providers and staff in the department to improve efficiency and effectiveness, according to a Sept. 28 notice posted to the system’s website. 

During the pause, patients who are scheduled to receive surgical care at Adena will be contacted by its partners at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus.

The pause will only impact cardiac surgeries. Adena cardiology and thoracic and vascular surgery are not affected by this decision, according to the notice. 

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.
