Five details:
1. The 6,571-square-foot medical facility represents a $19 million investment, OrthoIllinois CEO Anthony Brown told the Daily News.
2. The center is nearly identical to the practice’s original plan for an ASC in Gateway Business Park, Mr. Brown said in the Feb. 6 article. OrthoIllinois submitted plans for the ASC in 2020, which was followed by a dispute over zoning and strong opposition by the Beloit Health System. OrthoIllinois eventually withdrew its application for that site and resubmitted with a different location.
3. Mr. Brown said the practice hopes to break ground on the ASC as soon as weather permits, and it is slated for completion next year.
4. The Beloit ASC will be called OrthoWisconsin.
5. The ASC plans to facilitate up to 30 surgeries a week and will have four operating rooms, 12 recovery rooms and the capacity to keep patients overnight.
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.
