Iowa City, Iowa-based Steindler Orthopedic Clinic requested the CON hearing for its $17.9 million North Liberty ASC be bumped after an unspecified in-state hospital system approached Steindler with a partnership proposal. 

The unnamed hospital system proposed that Steindler expand its plans and build an inpatient hospital and an accompanying outpatient orthopedic specialty center, according to The Gazette.

The proposed Steindler North Liberty ASC, if completed, would be located next to an as-yet-unfinished $395 million University of Iowa 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.
