According to a March 7 news release, the donation will establish the Donald and Jean Reefe Family Fund for Cardiology that will support clinical technology, education and research at the center.

“I attribute my recovery to the hospital, of course,” Mr. Reefe said in the release. “As well as the quick work of the doctors, the nurses, and the support staff.”

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.
