The surgery center will perform procedures related to orthopedics, gastroenterology, cardiology, ophthalmology and urology, among others. It will also perform cardiac catheterization — the first freestanding ASC in Illinois to do so, according to the report.
The ASC has been performing some procedures, but will be fully operational in a few weeks.
“We’ve been licensed through [Illinois Department of Public Health], which has allowed us to perform cases here already,” Sarah Nolinwinkler, the surgery center’s director, told KHQA. “It’s just a matter of receiving that Medicare deems status, which is what we got this week.”
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
