Increasingly, cardiologists are performing patient procedures in outpatient ASC facilities. This approach often makes sense since ASCs are less expensive than hospitals and often more convenient for patients. Becker's Healthcare recently spoke with cardiologist James Grattan, MD, from Cardiologists of Lubbock (Texas), about the interventional cardiology landscape.

We're thrilled to share that 13 of our #SurgeryPartners facilities have been recognized among America's Best Ambulatory Surgery Centers for 2024 by Newsweek. Congratulations to each of the facilities on this extraordinary achievement and for your continued commitment to quality health care.

Becker's ASC Review recently spoke with Kenneth Nwosu, MD, an orthopedic spine surgeon at NeoSpine in the Greater Seattle area, about ASCs' attractive value proposition, the role of robotic technology in enabling ASCs to perform complex procedures and the rationale for performing spine surgeries in ASCs.
