The North Carolina Local Government Commission approved Duke University Health System’s funding request to build an ASC, according to a May 17 report from North State Journal.
The system plans to expand its campus in Cary, N.C., with facilities including a new medical office building, a freestanding emergency department, an ASC and specialty clinics.
DUHS requested $540 million in conduit revenue bonds, which it plans to use to refinance previous bonds to reimburse itself for the expansion.
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.
