The St. George Surgery Center has four specialized operating rooms offering same-day urology and orthopedic surgeries.

“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.”

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.
