Warsaw, Ind., currently houses one-third of the world’s orthopedic manufacturing companies, and two-thirds of the world’s hip and knee manufacturing companies, earning it the title of “orthopedic capital of the world.”
The state awarded the $30 million to local nonprofit OrthoWorx, which focuses on filling voids in the orthopedic industry through retention and training efforts.
The funds will be used to subsidize development of workforce housing, add community amenities to northern Indiana and create an orthopedic innovation research center, among other projects, according to the report.
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.
