The 350,000-square-foot, $271 million facility was chosen because converting it is cheaper and quicker than building from the ground up. The department store’s column spacing is perfect for an ASC, Paul Rubery, chair of the medical center’s orthopedics department, told the Journal.
The medical center has already converted a part of the mall into administrative and medical offices. The ASC is slated to open in 2023.
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.
