Oak Ridge, N.J. – July 13, 2021 – Lakeland Bank was pleased to provide the funding to refinance a 10,000 square foot Multi-Specialty Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) in Bergen County, New Jersey. The center provides services for patients from Bergen, Passaic, Morris, and Union Counties.
“COVID-19 was very challenging for ASCs across the Northeast as administrators and surgeons were constantly responding to operational and regulatory changes made at different local, state, and federal levels on almost a daily basis,” said Ron Krauskopf, Senior Vice President of Healthcare Lending. “Having a strong foundation of a reputable physician roster and deeply rooted referral sources was key to many centers avoiding acquisition pressure and unclogging the backlog of cases through the fall and winter. We were thrilled to work with this ASC group to help improve cash flow as they worked their way through the backlog and are now nearly at their pre-pandemic levels.”
