In order to fulfill the mandate of the Commission on Health Care Facilities in the 21st Century (the “Berger Commission”), SHRPC also approved the establishment of Health Alliance Planning, Inc. as the active parent and co-operator of Kingston Hospital, Benedictine Hospital, and Margaretville Memorial Hospital and the establishment and construction of Foxhall Ambulatory Surgery Center, a multi-specialty, freestanding ambulatory surgery center that will be constructed on Kingston Hospital’s land and will be owned by Foxhall Ambulatory Surgery Center, which will enter into a management services agreement with Kingston Hospital. The project was approved for a five-year period (a “five-year limited life”).
