Doctors and a hospital in Orangeburg, SC, have plans to build new ASCs, according to a report in the The Times and Democrat.
Ambulatory Partners, supported by doctors, including Dion Franga, MD, received state approval to build a $ 12.5 million operating room in front of the Regional Medical Center, which also obtained approval for a $ 2.4 million operating room. The hospital opposed the Ambulatory Partners’ plans to move forward with the ASC, and Dr. Franga said he would oppose the center of the hospital if the hospital continues to challenge its facilities.
The RMC said the Ambulatory Partners center would cost the hospital $ 7.4 million annually, transferring the procedures to the ASC. However, Ambulatory Partners says the center will target patients who are already traveling for surgery.
