From Outpatient to Overnight
Ohio ASC Expanding Into Physician-owned Hospital
Newark Surgery Center in Newark, Ohio, isn't the only surgical option available to Licking County residents and the physicians who'll operate on them. The facility faces competition from the 161-bed Licking Memorial Hospital, also in Newark, and even from the Ohio State University Medical Center, 40 miles west in Columbus. Yet market research surveys have shown that 50 percent of Licking County's residents who've sought surgical care have done so outside the county.
