The orthopedic physicians, along with gastrointestinal physicians, are coming back after “extensive conversations” regarding supplies and staffing, the report said. They are now taking calls and performing emergency procedures at the Holy Family hospitals.

Holy Family is owned by Dallas-based Steward Health Care, which has struggled financially. The health system fell $50 million behind on its rent to Medical Properties Trust and is facing scrutiny from lawmakers and community members in response to the risk of hospital closures.

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.
