Northwestern Medicine has opened a $15 million Center for Advanced Endoscopy at its Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, Ill., a Chicago suburb, according to an April 30 news release.
The 20,000-square-foot center is led by Amrita Sethi, MD, an internationally recognized endoscopist serving as medical director, and features advanced imaging, flexible robotics and AI-enabled diagnostics. As one of only a few stand-alone advanced endoscopy sites in the U.S., the center is expected to draw patients nationally and internationally for complex GI, pancreatic, biliary and early-stage cancer conditions.
The center builds on Northwestern Medicine’s broader investment in digestive health, including the 2023 launch of a liver transplant service at Central DuPage Hospital.
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.
