Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb signed Indiana’s newest two-year budget, which includes $536 million earmarked for local projects, into law May 4.

Warsaw, Ind., and its surrounding area have the highest concentration of orthopedic design and manufacturing facilities worldwide. 

The state represents half of the global orthopedic market for total joint replacements, according to the report. 

The $30 million will be given directly to OrthoWorx, a local nonprofit dedicated to advancing the industry. The funds will go into workforce retention,  talent attraction and more. 

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.
