Neptune, N.J.-based Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center has launched a gastroenterology program focused on advanced diagnostic and surgical care for complex digestive diseases.
Led by Lee Peng, MD, the program offers minimally invasive and endoscopic treatments for conditions affecting the liver, pancreas and gastrointestinal tract, according to an Oct. 9 system news release.
The team also uses gastric electrical stimulation, known as Enterra Therapy, to treat gastroparesis, a disorder that slows or stops stomach movement.
The new program broadens access to specialized gastrointestinal care in the region.
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.
