New ASC Development

University of Maryland Capital Region health may have to contend with a new regional powerhouse less than a month after dropping its protest of Anne Arundel Medical Center's cardiac surgery unit, the Capital Gazette reports.

The replacement UPMC Memorial Hospital in York, Pa., and its new outpatient center will open Aug. 18, the York Daily Record reports.

Here are four hospitals and health systems that opened or announced ASCs in April:

Providence-based Ortho Rhode Island began developing a medical office building and surgery center in Warwick, R.I., NEREJ reports.

Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin's ASC and health center developments could make a $53 million economic impact on the area, according to gmtoday.com.

Most organizations pursuing an ASC acquisition prefer established centers over turnaround or de novo opportunities, according to HealthCare Appraisers' "2019 ASC Valuation Survey."

An ASC project costing nearly $3 million is pending approval in Georgia.

Macon-based Georgia Arrhythmia Consultants and Research Institute wants to build a cardiology-electrophysiology ASC in Warner Robins, Ga.

Southeast Regional Surgery Center is moving forward with a single-specialty ASC in Columbus, Ga.

Canton-based Georgia Interventional Pain-E is seeking state approval to own and operate an ASC.
