“We know the cost of care is high, and this new facility will be a major step in making it more affordable,” Zachary Leitze, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at the ASC, told St. George News. “This facility can potentially reduce the cost of surgery by 20 percent to 50 percent for common orthopedic procedures.”
