Andy Berg, Director of Clinical Staffing at MedHQ, joined us for the sixth installment of our De Novo series to discuss the intricacies of assembling the ideal team for a new surgery center. Regardless of whether you're opening an ASC, the episode is filled with invaluable insights on staff recruitment, flexible hiring strategies, identifying leadership qualities, and ensuring your existing team is actively engaged in the interview process.

In our news recap, we'll cover the gigification of the healthcare industry, ASCA's official comments in response to Medicare's 2024 proposed payment rule, the nurses' strike still going on at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, and of course, end the news segment with a positive story about a new 'nuclear' prostate cancer treatment that is improving lives.
