The hospital, slated to open in 2023, will feature 10 acute-care beds and space for 10 more, an emergency department, a helipad and a medical office building. 

The approval comes after objections by the New York Civil Liberties Union, among other groups, because the hospital would not offer services such as abortions that are barred by Catholic teachings.

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.
