Stafford, Conn.-based Johnson Memorial Hospital is opening a new ASC at its Enfield, Conn., campus, according to a June 25 report from the Stamford Advocate.
While the ASC was originally intended to be partially owned by local physicians, it will now be wholly owned by Hartford, Conn.-based Trinity Health of New England, according to the report.
Originally, physicians were intended to own 49% of the facility, with Trinity owning the majority.
“We will continue to evaluate that decision and look to invite physicians into the ownership model in the future,” Mary Orr, a spokesperson for Trinity, told the Advocate. She did not specify why physicians are no longer part of the ownership model. “Johnson Memorial Hospital is committed to serving as a transforming, healing presence in the local community, and we continually strive to reach new levels of safe, patient-centered care and service excellence.”
The new 42,000-square-foot ASC will house four operating rooms, two procedure rooms and 20 pre- and post-operative bays, as well as CT scans, X-rays, mammography, bone-density scans and ultrasounds.
