Dr. Riedel’s last day was April 30, retiring as the senior-most member of the hospital’s medical staff. When he started with the practice, Dr. Riedel was the first sub-specialist at the then-three-building campus. 

The campus now has six buildings, with the main hospital also adding two new wings during Dr. Riedel’s tenure. He performed an estimated 50,000 colonoscopies over the course of his career. 

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.
