ASC dealbook: Asante buys shuttered ASC; sca-operated facility changes hands. Asante purchases Oregon ASC, but may not reopen it. The building that housed the now-closed Surgery Center of Southern Oregon has a new owner - but not yet a path toward reopening. The nonprofit health system Asante recently confirmed to the Rogue Valley Times that it had purchased the building for $10.3 million on July 30. A spokesperson told the publication that Asante bought the property because of its proximity to the Rogue Regional Medical Center's campus, and the health system doesn't currently have any plans for the closed ambulatory surgery center (ASC). Asante tried to purchase the ASC this spring and keep the facility running, but the Oregon Health Authority would not grant the system an emergency exception to a lengthy state-required review of the deal. Asante had argued the exception was necessary because the Surgery Center of Southern Oregon was at risk of insolvency. The ASC then shuttered on June 30.
