“The transformation of this hospital building into an ASC showcases the commitment of the hospital to adapt and embrace innovative solutions that enhance accessibility, affordability and quality of care — ultimately benefit[ing] our patients and providing RRH with a more sustainable model to serve our patient population,” Charles Pietrangelo, director of business development for the health system, told The Daily Independent.

The ASC will offer pain management, ophthalmology, dermatology and gastroenterology services, with plans to add urology and orthopedics in the future, according to the publication. 

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.
