The 11,500-square-foot project involves repurposing current primary care space into an entire floor that offers surgical procedures. 

The hospital has also added several gastroenterology physicians over the past year, according to the report. 

“This expansion addresses the growing demand for gastroenterology and digestive health services in the community,” Riverview Health President and CEO Dave Hyatt told the publication. “It furthers our commitment to providing the community with readily available care.”

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.
